Dropbox installation failed and corrupts pip3

I am running Python 3.4.2 on Raspbian Jessie on Pi3

pip3 works fine until I try:

sudo pip3 install dropbox

What gives:

Downloading/unpacking dropbox
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): urllib3 in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages (from dropbox)
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): six>=1.3.0 in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages (from dropbox)

Cleaning up...

After that pip3 (but not pip) is now corrupted and just started:

sudo pip3

you receive the following error message:

/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/requests/__init__.py:80: RequestsDependencyWarning: urllib3 (1.9.1) or chardet (3.0.4) doesn't match a supported version!
  RequestsDependencyWarning)

    from urllib3.exceptions import DependencyWarning
ImportError: cannot import name 'DependencyWarning'

I have installed many other packages from source including ffmpeg, gstreamer 1.10.5, opencv 3.2.0, so I suspect this process is to blame, but only trying to install Dropbox using pip3 corruptts pip3.

Any help with this issue would be appreciated.

@mdasari Thanks for a ton of your help. I am running Python 3.4.2, so I used easy_install3 to uninstall and reinstall pip as you suggested. This time the dropbox seems to be installed correctly (haven't tested it yet), but pip3 is corrupted again and gives me the same error as before. However, after rebooting, the error went away and pip3 is fine. For others, this is exactly what I did to fix the problem (again, I'm using Python 3.4.2):



sudo apt-get remove python-pip

sudo apt-get autoremove

sudo easy_install3 -U pip

sudo pip3 install dropbox

reboot

I think the problem is with pip, not Dropbox. Have you tried uninstalling the current version and reinstalling it?

apt-get remove python-pip
easy_install-3.5 -U pip
