python - pip install broken (pkg_resources.find_distribution returns empty list in req.py-prepare_files)

At some point my pip installation broke (I suspect when upgrading to Ubuntu 14.04) and I haven't been able to unbreak it by completely removing it and reinstalling (via synaptic package manager). It doesn't occur for all packages but for a few common ones such as autopep8 and even setuptools itself.

The error I am getting is

Downloading from URL https://pypi.python.org/packages/3.3/p/pep8/pep8-1.5.6-py2.py3-none-any.whl#md5=c7da9fb6a4316b53b6a873de076441e2 (from https://pypi.python.org/simple/pep8/)
Cleaning up...

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip/req.py", line 1259, in prepare_files
    )[0]
IndexError: list index out of range

which occurs when pkg_resources.find_distribution(<what-appears-to-be-a-temp-build-directory-for-package-to-install>) returns an empty list. I am kind of out of ideas so any pointers would be most appreciated.

This fixes the problem:

pip install --no-use-wheel --upgrade distribute
