OSError: Command /opt/eff.org/certbot/venv/bin/python2.7 - setuptools pkg_resources pip wheel failed with error code 2 about ansible-role-certbot HOT 12 CLOSED

In my case pip was not installed. So I run sudo apt-get install python-pip, Then I tried to install wheel manually: pip install wheel. This failed because of missconfigured locals that could be fixed by the command export LC_ALL=C. After that I was able to run the certbot again.

solved this problem by changing the default pip version!

1. check your pip and python version by typing pip --version and python --version.
2. If both of them don't version 2.7 edit /.bashrc by typing nano ~/.bashrc and add:
   alias pip='pip2' alias python='python2'
   these 2 lines at the top of the file
3. then type source ~/.bashrc
4. try to run cerbot command again and if it's not working try step 5
5. upgrade setuptools by typing pip install --upgrade setuptools --user

Step 5 doesn't helped!
