Problem solved -- I think. Here is how: Going through all Python 2.7 packages in Synaptic (this is in Debian) I marked every package that did not seem to impact anything else plus python-pip for complete removal and went ahead and removed them. I then re-installed python-pip and whatever it felt it needed. After that I ran pip list -- no errors or warnings whatsoever! Finally I installed packages my laptop has but my desktop box now was missing. I have not tampered with my laptop so I think it should be an OK template for my Python packages. pip list is still OK and what little else I have tested also works. /Martin (a little wiser regarding Python and pip) -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
