Issue with Install of Electrum (box already has python-qt4 and python-pip up-to-date)

Hello, the following results from an attempted install of Electrum on a test box which had been Wubi installed on what used to be an XP-run box, with Wubi transitioned to Ubuntu12.04 LTS with a dual boot (and now is Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (still dual boot, not yet migrated Wubi install to partition)). Note that the box has previously had Electrum installed in XP (the XP OS has not been used since before XP end of life, and machine is always booted into Ubuntu and updated, and has most current OpenBazaar).

From terminal:

$ sudo pip install https://download.electrum.org/Electrum-1.9.8.tar.gz#md5=e3918fec0254267f08e41a1fb8691382

(The following come as error messages)

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/pip", line 9, in load_entry_point('pip==1.5.4', 'console_scripts', 'pip')() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 351, in load_entry_point return get_distribution(dist).load_entry_point(group, name) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 2363, in load_entry_point return ep.load() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 2088, in load entry = import(self.module_name, globals(),globals(), ['name']) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip/init.py", line 11, in from pip.vcs import git, mercurial, subversion, bazaar # noqa File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip/vcs/mercurial.py", line 9, in from pip.download import path_to_url File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip/download.py", line 25, in from requests.compat import IncompleteRead ImportError: cannot import name IncompleteRead

Note: the install was completed successfully later, but by use of a different terminal command:

sudo apt-get install electrum

spesmilo / electrum
