Comment (by buck):
So. I traced through it. I believe the sequents of events are this:
* we run: python setup.py install
* which runs: setup.py egg_info
* even though it's not installed yet, this uses setuptools' egg_info.run
* which iterates through all "egg_info.writers" entrypoints (whatever
that may be)
* one of which is ~/.local/.../pbr (this is why you can't repro =/)
* pbr apparently requires pip
* setuptools ensures entrypoint requirements are met
* so it tries to install pip
* splosion
In summary, NOTABUG. Possibly it's a pbr or setuptools bug, but probably
not.
That said, sage --env could prevent this issue in future by setting
`PYTHONNOUSERSITE=true`.
