Installation problem: No local packages found for "entrypoints"

See original GitHub issue

I am trying to install Jupyter on CentOS 6.7, python3.4 and getting this error. Where can one get this entrypoints package? Can find none on google.

To add to the discussion, the problem is not due to an older version of pip; I got today the very same error message with version 8.1.2.

In case somebody else find this through Google, the solution appears to install the ‘entrypoints’ package prior to jupyter:

$ pip install entrypoints
$ pip install jupyter

Closing as @DSLituiev found a way to get pip working (from discussion on SO).
