[New-bugs-announce] [issue21144] ensurepip "AssertionError: Multiple .dist-info directories"

[Nikolaus Demmel]

New submission from Nikolaus Demmel:

I am installing python 3.4 on OS X 10.9 Mavericks via Homebrew.

The Homebrew formula is: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/blob/4bd9b7538297c2ecbcaba281a6db86e8d8f660c8/Library/Formula/python3.rb

During the installation, `ensurepip` is called, but failes with "AssertionError: Multiple .dist-info directories".

I have reported this downstream with Homebrew, but it is suggested that this is an upstream issue: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/issues/28035

The ensurepip output can be seen here: https://gist.github.com/NikolausDemmel/9952010#file-python3-4-installation-with-homebrew-L685-L709

And the mentioned log file here: https://gist.github.com/NikolausDemmel/9952010#file-python3-4-installation-with-homebrew-L751-L784
