[Bug 1513565] Re: libpython2.7 uses the 3.x name for ConfigParser

[Barry Warsaw]

Why are you using toolchain-r?  Are you sure that's where your getting
your libpython2.7-minimal from for trusty?

https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-
toolchain-r/+archive/ubuntu/test?field.series_filter=trusty

This problem doesn't happen in a clean trusty chroot.

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.
