Answer 1

I had a similar problem, but things were working fine as root. In my case, I found that the permissions on the python packages were not readable by the ID I was running the command under.

To correct it, I ran the following command to open the permission for read and execute to all users:

sudo chmod o+rx -R /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/*.egg
