[abhinavsingh]

Not to forget that even though it failed, destroyed my virtualenv. Not a big problem but thought you might be interested in knowing.

$ pip freeze
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/abhinavsingh/Builds/PyEnv/playground/bin/pip", line 5, in <module>
    from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
ImportError: No module named pkg_resources

Fixed by re-installation of distribute:

curl http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py | python

[dhellmann]

It looks like this may be an issue with pbr, the packaging tool. https://bugs.launchpad.net/pbr/+bug/1186194

One comment suggests that using distribute instead of setuptools does work correctly, but it sounds like that's not the case for you?

[dhellmann]

The solution to this problem is to upgrade to the latest setuptools before running pip (and to stop using distribute).
