I get this:

Any idea what's going on? Should I try to make a minimal reproducing example?

You have a mixture of python2 and python3 involved there, and unless I misunderstand something about pip, that's not going to work. I think this should be reported to the pip bug tracker, but it may be an error at the python installation level or virtual environment creation level.

Ooops, sorry for the noise, I had some weird breakage in my virtualenv.
