Hi,

I cannot reproduce this. The pip._internal module should be located at
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip/_internal/*
Are there any local environment variables on your system that alter the
python search path?
Are you using the system python command or do you have a "special"
python installation?
Is anything corrupted? (e.g. check with debsums)
