Please upgrade your pip. http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/python-pip says it's shipping 1.0.1, even older. You get 1.1 with Quantal: http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/python-pip and (unsurprisingly) newer versions with newer Ubuntus. Debian's just as bad, incidentally. On Wheezy (current stable), Debian ships 1.1, though Jessie (current testing) has 1.4.1. But neither Ubuntu Trusty nor Debian Sid (unreleased versions of each) ships 1.5. ChrisA
