Сбой pip3 с помощью ImportError

Я использовал Python v3.5 для кодирования с tensorflow пакет. Теперь я попытался обновиться до последней версии, и pip3 все время падал со следующей ошибкой при запуске pip3:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pip/_vendor/__init__.py", line 33, in vendored
    __import__(vendored_name, globals(), locals(), level=0)
ImportError: No module named 'pip._vendor.pkg_resources'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Я использую обновленную Ubuntu 16.10, и я не знаю никаких изменений программного обеспечения, которые могут быть связаны с этой проблемой.

FYI: pip, версия для Python v2.7, работает без проблем.
