Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 16.04
pymongo 3.2-1build1
When most packages (i.e. numpy, scipy, flask, etc.) are installed with
deb packages, they are installed in such a way that pip can see them.
This is done by installing "*.egg-info/" directories (find
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages -type d -name '*egg*').
pymongo doesn't do this, so pip doesn't realize it is installed and will
install a second copy of the library even when it's not necessary.
# install python-pymongo package
sudo apt install python-pymongo
# the package can be imported
python -c 'import pymongo'
# but pip doesn't see it
pip search pymongo
# so pip doesn't realize that the pymongo requirement is already fulfilled
pip install pymongo
