I am having this same issue when I decided to try setting up a machine using 
the new pybombs.  If I run 'pip list' it errors out as well.  The log file it
creates is here:

How did you install pip? I'd remove it with whatever tool you used and reinstall using "easy_install pip" (then "pip install --upgrade pip"). Makes sure you have the latest version of pip.
