pip fails to install

[mal]

Just tried to run this on a clean 12.04 vm, and traced the error back to the behavior reported in #77, however in this case the error that's obscured appears different.

Seems this is a pip issue; filed here pypa/pip#1533. I've also added a workaround there, maybe it can be worked into the cookbook?

Ok this this is a waaaaay upstream issue:

Fixed upstream; confirmed locally. Closing.
