See my first comment, this is specific to the toolchain-r version of libpython-minimal (the issue was introduced in https://launchpadlibrarian.net/221233027/python2.7_2.7.10-3~14.04_2.7.10-4~14.04.diff.gz). A clean trusty is not affected.
Is there a way to raise bugs against a PPA? If so I couldn't work out how... I was using toolchain-r for their g++-4.9 build (and my love for living on the bleeding edge :D). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to python2.7 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1513565 Title: libpython2.7 uses the 3.x name for ConfigParser Status in python-pip package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in python2.7 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Installing a minimal virtualenv on Trusty Tahr (using libpython- minimal 2.7.10-4~14.04), I ran into crashes because: File "/usr/lib/python2.7/ssl.py", line 491, in inner import configparser ImportError: No module named configparser Looking at the code in ssl.py, it uses "import configparser" even though the package is called "ConfigParser" in Python 2.7 (it changed in 3.0), this means that a clean virtualenv cannot install any packages using easy_install (since they're served over an https connection which uses the code in ssl.py). As a workaround, you can `pip install configparser` to install the package under the 3.0 name or change the code to be `import ConfigParser as configparser` to import the correct package.
