This bug matters. I have a pretty vanilla installation, python, matplotlib, and a few other standard packages, all from the official repositories. After a recent apt-get update, I now get the same exact pip breaking result as the first comment.
The workaround was to use easy_install to install pip, then use pip2.7 to install what I wanted. But I presume that is not the intended path for typical users. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1308714 Title: sudo pip install installs into the system dist-packages by default To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-pip/+bug/1308714/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
