In reply to comment #6, I'm fairly certain this isn't requests' fault. My practice for one of my libraries for a long time was to lock the requests version at 1.2.3. Until Ubuntu 14.04, that worked fine, and the version was great.
This time immediately after I installed my older version of requests, pip started throwing this error. Here's my terminal log. You can see everything is all good *until* I install requests. 10:54:26::mlissner@pounamu::~/Programming/intellij/juriscraper ↪ sudo pip install chardet==1.0.1 Downloading/unpacking chardet==1.0.1 Downloading chardet-1.0.1.tar.gz (156kB): 156kB downloaded Running setup.py (path:/tmp/pip_build_root/chardet/setup.py) egg_info for package chardet Installing collected packages: chardet Found existing installation: chardet 2.0.1 Uninstalling chardet: Successfully uninstalled chardet Running setup.py install for chardet Successfully installed chardet Cleaning up... 10:54:36::mlissner@pounamu::~/Programming/intellij/juriscraper ↪ sudo pip install requests==1.2.3 Downloading/unpacking requests==1.2.3 Downloading requests-1.2.3.tar.gz (348kB): 348kB downloaded Running setup.py (path:/tmp/pip_build_root/requests/setup.py) egg_info for package requests Installing collected packages: requests Found existing installation: requests 2.2.1 Uninstalling requests: Successfully uninstalled requests Running setup.py install for requests Successfully installed requests Cleaning up... 10:54:43::mlissner@pounamu::~/Programming/intellij/juriscraper ↪ sudo pip install lxml==3.0.1 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/pip", line 9, in <module> load_entry_point('pip==1.5.4', 'console_scripts', 'pip')() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 351, in load_entry_point return get_distribution(dist).load_entry_point(group, name) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 2363, in load_entry_point return ep.load() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 2088, in load entry = __import__(self.module_name, globals(),globals(), ['__name__']) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip/__init__.py", line 11, in <module> from pip.vcs import git, mercurial, subversion, bazaar # noqa File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip/vcs/mercurial.py", line 9, in <module> from pip.download import path_to_url File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip/download.py", line 25, in <module> from requests.compat import IncompleteRead ImportError: cannot import name IncompleteRead -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1306991 Title: pip stops with ImportError for request-Modul To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-pip/+bug/1306991/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
