[New-bugs-announce] [issue26170] pip Crash on Unpacking in get_platform() line 119

[Vinyl Darkscratch-Kazotetsu]

New submission from Vinyl Darkscratch-Kazotetsu:

Since upgrading to pip 8.0, I get a crash whenever I try to run it.  It fails to unpack to major, minor, and micro for the release, saying there's only two values.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/pip", line 7, in <module>
    from pip import main
