Missing get_installed

[klwilson227]

• Pip version: 10.0
• Python version:2.7.12
• Operating system:ubuntu 16.04

Description:

There seems to be a issue specific to ubuntu 16.04 and pip version 10.0 running with the below error. I backed the pip version down to 9 and it works properly again. I expect pip 10.0 to install the same packages that 9.0 can install. pip can install many other packages. But it seems to trip over the bson package when installing.

I have attempted to upgrade setuptools to ensure that it was not related to the setuptools version in both cases of setuptools the error remains consistent.

What I've run:

pip install bson

Collecting bson
