I have had this error for a year now and still can't find a solution. I am using Linux Mint 17.3 Every time I try to install something using pip, I get a bunch of exceptions.
$ pip install -U scikit-learns Exception: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip-9.0.1-py2.7.egg/pip/basecommand.py", line 215, in main status = self.run(options, args) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip-9.0.1-py2.7.egg/pip/commands/install.py", line 272, in run with self._build_session(options) as session: File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip-9.0.1-py2.7.egg/pip/basecommand.py", line 72, in _build_session insecure_hosts=options.trusted_hosts, File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip-9.0.1-py2.7.egg/pip/download.py", line 329, in __init__ self.headers["User-Agent"] = user_agent() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip-9.0.1-py2.7.egg/pip/download.py", line 93, in user_agent from pip._vendor import distro File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip-9.0.1-py2.7.egg/pip/_vendor/distro.py", line 1050, in <module> _distro = LinuxDistribution() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip-9.0.1-py2.7.egg/pip/_vendor/distro.py", line 594, in __init__ if include_lsb else {} File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip-9.0.1-py2.7.egg/pip/_vendor/distro.py", line 933, in _get_lsb_release_info raise subprocess.CalledProcessError(code, cmd, stdout) CalledProcessError: Command 'lsb_release -a' returned non-zero exit status 1 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/pip", line 9, in <module> load_entry_point('pip==9.0.1', 'console_scripts', 'pip')() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip-9.0.1-py2.7.egg/pip/__init__.py", line 233, in main return command.main(cmd_args) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip-9.0.1-py2.7.egg/pip/basecommand.py", line 251, in main timeout=min(5, options.timeout)) as session: File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip-9.0.1-py2.7.egg/pip/basecommand.py", line 72, in _build_session insecure_hosts=options.trusted_hosts, File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip-9.0.1-py2.7.egg/pip/download.py", line 329, in __init__ self.headers["User-Agent"] = user_agent() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip-9.0.1-py2.7.egg/pip/download.py", line 93, in user_agent from pip._vendor import distro File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip-9.0.1-py2.7.egg/pip/_vendor/distro.py", line 1050, in <module> _distro = LinuxDistribution() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip-9.0.1-py2.7.egg/pip/_vendor/distro.py", line 594, in __init__ if include_lsb else {} File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip-9.0.1-py2.7.egg/pip/_vendor/distro.py", line 933, in _get_lsb_release_info raise subprocess.CalledProcessError(code, cmd, stdout) subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command 'lsb_release -a' returned non-zero exit status 1
The "Command 'lsb_release -a' returned non-zero exit status 1" always popped up. I have installed multiple versions of python and tried deleting them manually and it still comes up with the same error.
If you can't help me solve this error, how can I uninstall all python files?
