[Bug 1555723] Re: pip is breaking in ppc64el

[Barry Warsaw]

This is still incredibly odd because your traceback still flows through
/usr/local, which the apt installed pip would never do.  So I think you
have some stuff installed in /usr/local, and possibly a PYTHONPATH, that
is breaking the system installed pip.

Note that on Debian (and derived) /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
is on the standard python2.7 sys.path *before* /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-
packages expressly so that system administrators can modify how Python
works, but it's also incumbent on the system admin to make sure that
anything installed there won't break the system packages.  It looks like
this is what's happening for you.  I doubt it has anything to do with
the architecture of the machine.

Please start by clearing out any custom stuff you might have in
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages and try again.
