Bug

If I create a new directory called tmp go into that directory and try to create new Mbed OS application, it fails:

tmp$ mbed new .
[mbed] Creating new program "tmp" (git)
[mbed] Adding library "mbed-os" from "https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os" at branch/tag "latest"

OS: Mac OS X
Using virtualenv with pip version 10.0.0.

Update

To fix: pip install -U pip==9.0.3

So problem appears when pip version is 10.0.0 or newer.

I believe this is reported to mbed-cli and was fixed recently (pip breakage that happened recently). This one : ARMmbed/mbed-cli#661

It should be fixed via the referenced PR above.
