This problem is caused by a mismatch between your pip installation and your requests installation   As of requests version 2 4 0 requests compat IncompleteRead has been removed  Older versions of pip  e g  from July 2014  still relied on IncompleteRead  In the current version of pip  the import of IncompleteRead has been removed   So the one to blame is either    requests  for removing public API too quickly Ubuntu for updating pip too slowly   You can solve this issue  by either updating pip via Ubuntu  if there is a newer version  or by installing pip aside from Ubuntu

The problem is the Python module requests  It can be fixed by    sudo apt-get purge python-requests  now requests and pip gets deinstalled    sudo apt-get install python-requests python-pip   If you have this problem with Python 3  you have to write python3 instead of python

Check if have a python interpreter alive in any of the terminal windows  If so kill it and try sudo pip which worked for me

User · Answer

Check wether you have an older version of requests sitting in your    local lib python2 7 site-packages  and remove it if it is the case  change path to reflect your python version   This solved the issue for me
