`No module named azure.cli`

Description

I’m pretty sure this can be fixed with a “start all over again from scratch”, but just wanted to let you know just in case some environmental issues are lurking here.

This is the deal. I run az login and get

az login
/usr/bin/python: No module named azure.cli

Environment summary

Install Method: How did you install the CLI? (e.g. pip, interactive script, apt-get, Docker, MSI, nightly)
Answer here:

pip install --user azure-cli

(back in January or so)

Just today:

pip install --user --upgrade azure-cli

CLI Version: What version of the CLI and modules are installed? (Use az --version)
Answer here:

Hard to say, since I can’t run az. However, here’s what the upgrade issues:

Same issue. bin/python: No module named azure.cli re-install of azure-cli does not fix the issue. OS: Ubuntu 14.04 Python: 2.7.13

Creating the missing _init.py file fixed the issue.

touch  $PYTHONPATH/azure_cli-2.0.20-py2.7.egg/ __init__.py
chmod +x $PYTHONPATH/azure_cli-2.0.20-py2.7.egg/__init__.py
touch $PYTHONPATH/azure_cli-2.0.20-py2.7.egg/azure/__init__.py
chmod +x $PYTHONPATH/azure_cli-2.0.20-py2.7.egg/azure/__init__.py

Did you run the following pip install --force-reinstall --upgrade azure-nspkg azure-mgmt-nspkg.
