It broke now because you 'sudo pip install'ed something that depends on something that ships /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/reprlib.py (which probably comes from pies2overrides) > Any pointers welcome as to the best way to resolve this issue now? I would recommend sudo pip uninstall pies2overrides (and whatever depended on it). A good way to avoid pain is to never ever 'sudo pip install' stuff. A different workaround would be to create a clean virtualenv, install tox into it, then run tox from that virtualenv.
