Mark added the comment: I have the same problem on a standard installation of Python 3.5 (on OS X via Homebrew). This bug is almost a year old, and it is a doozy: it utterly defeats the purpose of --system-site-packages.
In the hope of getting some momentum going, I tried out the option suggested by dstufft: adding --ignore-installed in ensurepip's bootstrap() does seem to fix the problem. I've never contributed a patch to Python before so I've probably screwed this up, but I'm attaching a patch that applies against latest python 3.5 on github (1b279c2). Sorry, I don't know what the equivalent Hg hash is, but this is a pretty minimal patch so it should be easy to apply. ---------- keywords: +patch nosy: +mehaase versions: +Python 3.5 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file43880/0001-Fix-issue-24875.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24875> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
