pip: ImportError: No module named retrying

I'm trying to create a new environment and install various 3rd party packages on an Ubuntu machine. After having to install condo (for a matplotlib installation) and gdal, the pip function no longer works. Instead I receive:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/media/imagery/ENVIRONMENTS/Project_1/bin/pip", line 7, in <module>
    from pip._internal import main
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip/__init__.py", line 14, in <module>
    from pip.utils import get_installed_distributions, get_prog
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip/utils/__init__.py", line 30, in <module>
    from pip._vendor.retrying import retry
ImportError: No module named retrying

I've called pip both in and outside my environment, and still observe the same issue. Also I've tried a pip install --upgrade pip and still retrieve the same Traceback. Any ideas how to resolve this?

I had a similar exception and could manage to repair it.

In my case I upgraded Ubuntu 16.04 to Ubuntu 18.04.

I had to re-create the virtualenv. Depending on your choice:

virtualenv  .

Or

virtualenv --system-site-packages .

As a cheap workaround, export PYTHONPATH=" " seemed to work for now in order to install other packages, but as soon as I need the gdal package, I have to then set PYTHONPATH again.
