After uninstalling pip on Fedora 24, ensurepip get_records_to_pack returns None, causing rewheel.rewheel_from_record to raise TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable.

While this is probably not a scenario that CPython supports directly, it would be nice if it handled it a bit better.

Presumably this is using the system python-pip 8.1.0, while there is another pip present, and it is uninstalling both pip 7.1.2 and 8.1.0 at the same time.

$ sudo pip uninstall pip

You used "pip uninstall" to uninstall the Fedora-supplied pip (/usr/bin/pip)? That would be a really *bad* thing to do. And does Fedora supply a modified ensurepip / pip? What happens if you try this with a vanilla Python 3.5.x built from source? My initial reaction is that there is nothing Python can do about this and probably not pip either.

Sorry, 2.7.12 built from source.

Well, it wasnt my intention to remove the vendor package. There were two versions, and I assume it would remove the older package which wasnt supplied by the vendor, but it removed both.

Anyways, I see that most of the code path is in https://github.com/fedora-python/rewheel/blob/master/python2-ensurepip-rewheel.patch#L36

I guess there isnt much the cpython module can do here.

rewheel is definitely some Fedora patches.

Yeah, this is a known problem with pip where if you run it with sudo, it will happily uninstall system managed files from the system Python.

To fix your system (if you haven't already):

    $ sudo dnf reinstall python2-pip

(Anyone that accidentally uninstalls one of DNF's dependencies is in for a world of pain, but fortunately for this case pip doesn't fall into that category)

For the actual "pip currently happily uninstalls distro packages when run with sudo" problem, https://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2016-January/028080.html is the most recent discussion of that situation.

So we have a basic concept in place for how to make "sudo pip uninstall" less dangerous, it just requires coordination between PyPA updates to pip and downstream distro packaging policies to get us there.
