Using PIP_NO_CACHE_DIR raises exception

See original GitHub issue

This is related to #2855 and #2856. #2856 fixed the exception when using --no-cache-dir flag, but using the equivalent env var still doesn’t work:

$ PIP_NO_CACHE_DIR=1 pip install gunicorn
Exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3.3/site-packages/pip-7.0.3-py3.3.egg/pip/basecommand.py", line 223, in main
    status = self.run(options, args)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.3/site-packages/pip-7.0.3-py3.3.egg/pip/commands/install.py", line 242, in run
    with self._build_session(options) as session:
  File "/usr/lib/python3.3/site-packages/pip-7.0.3-py3.3.egg/pip/basecommand.py", line 71, in _build_session
    if options.cache_dir else None
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.3/posixpath.py", line 82, in join
    elif not path or path.endswith(sep):
AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'endswith'

For what it’s worth, I’d like to say that is very confusing behaviour. Setting PIP_CACHE=0 to disable the cache would make sense, but having to set PIP_NO_CACHE_DIR=0 to enable no-cache-dir is just ludicrous.

Thanks @pradyunsg for the encouragement. Sorry for the delay. Have raised issue ( https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/5735 ).
