ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pip.download'

See original GitHub issue

Pip version: 10.0.0
Python version: 3.6.4
Operating system: Ubuntu 14.04

Description:

pip fails to install the package from git repository specified by the following requirements.txt line:

git+https://github.com/Dmitri-Sintsov/django-jinja-knockout.git

Circle CI test, which used to work in a long time suddenly is broken. Why pip.download module is not available anymore and how can I fix that in my test script?

Please see the log here: https://circleci.com/gh/Dmitri-Sintsov/django-jinja-knockout/353

What I’ve run:

         # Install pyenv to use exact version of Python.
          git clone https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv.git ~/.pyenv
          export PYENV_ROOT="$HOME/.pyenv"
          export PATH="$PYENV_ROOT/bin:$PATH"
          pyenv init -
          pyenv install 3.6.4
          # Version of Python installed in the python:latest-browsers image.
          python3 --version
          # Version of Python used to run the tests.
          $(pyenv root)/versions/3.6.4/bin/python --version
          # https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27849412/permissionerror-with-pip3
          $(pyenv root)/versions/3.6.4/bin/python -m pip install -U pip wheel tox tox-pyenv setuptools --user

Of course people won’t understand that, if you’re violating the usual conventions in Python that name is public and _name is not. Many devs just RTFS, it’s not practical to double check every name used is a documented feature.

Anyway, I found that as long as you enter/exit a PipSession context properly then using the library code actually worked pretty well! Sure, it was a bit annoying to have to monkeypatch to disable progress bars and redirect logger configuration and stuff, but there was some very good and useful stuff in there that is not really usable from the CLI. Anyone who expected thread-safety here is expecting way too much.

I honestly don’t think it would be too hard to move some useful bits into public APIs and make the logging config / output stream handling a bit saner, and am happy to contribute some time to the project if there’s any interest in moving things in that direction.
