I just updated from 16.04 to 17.10, and every time I attempt to run any python2.7 command, I'm getting this error:
pip install --upgrade pip
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/XXXX/bin/pip", line 7, in <module>

collections

from _weakref import (
ImportError: cannot import name _remove_dead_weakref
Another user had a similar problem, but this affects any python program I attempt to execute. I can't install anything via pip, or use any python scripts. I really have no idea what to do, assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Output of "python --version" is
Python 2.7.12
however "update python" produces:
python is already the newest version (2.7.14-2ubuntu1).
ImportError: cannot import name _remove_dead_weakref
. My Python is 2.7.14
