Today I upgraded from pip 7.1.0 to 7.1.2, and now it doesn't work.
$ pip search docker-compose Exception: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/pip/basecommand.py", line 223, in main status = self.run(options, args) File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/pip/commands/search.py", line 43, in run pypi_hits = self.search(query, options) File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/pip/commands/search.py", line 60, in search hits = pypi.search({'name': query, 'summary': query}, 'or') File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/xmlrpclib.py", line 1240, in __call__ return self.__send(self.__name, args) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/xmlrpclib.py", line 1599, in __request verbose=self.__verbose File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/pip/download.py", line 788, in request return self.parse_response(response.raw) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/xmlrpclib.py", line 1490, in parse_response return u.close() File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/xmlrpclib.py", line 799, in close raise Fault(**self._stack[0]) Fault: <Fault 1: "<type 'exceptions.KeyError'>:'hits'"> So I tried reinstalling:
sudo -H pip install --force-reinstall -U pip The reinstall ran without error, but when I tried to search, I got the same error.
So, I tried reinstalling the old version:
sudo -H pip install --force-reinstall -U pip==7.1.0 Again, the reinstall worked, but searching was still broken after the reinstall. In addition to the error, I did get the version upgrade message:
You are using pip version 7.1.0, however version 7.1.2 is available. You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command. Disabling the cache also gives the same error:
pip search docker-compose --no-cache-dir --disable-pip-version-check The problem seems to only be with the search function, as pip still functions well enough to reinstall itself and such.
I believe I have only installed one other package today, which was docker-compose. The problem occurs when I search for packages other than docker-compose, as in my examples.
Any ideas?

I wasn't able to reproduce this with pip 7.1.2 and either Python 2.7.8 or 3.5.1 on Linux.
The xmlrpclib docs have this to say on 'faults':
Method calls may also raise a special Fault instance, used to signal XML-RPC server errors
This implies that pip is reporting a problem on the server (pypi) side.
The Python Infrastructure Status site reports problems with pip search on 2015-09-11 and 2015-09-12.
I suspect that this is not a bug in pip, but a problem with pypi.python.org on the dates in question.This question was asked on 2015-09-11.
A similar error was logged on the pypi bitbucket repo on 2015-09-11, reinforcing my theory.
Interestingly, there is another similar bug logged at pypi's github repo. In this case the search term is a regex:
pip search "^docker-compose$"
I can reproduce this error on Python 2.7.8 and Python3.5.1, pip-7.1.2 and pip-8.1.1 on Linux; however I can't see anything in the pip documentation to suggest that pip search supports regex, and this answer states regex is unsupported, so I think this is a separate issue unrelated to the OP's question.

pip does this sometimes if no matches (hits) are found:
$ pip search '':
Fault: <Fault 1: "<type 'exceptions.KeyError'>:'hits'">
$ pip search 'something':
OK
Could also be a server side bug, one that fails to provide the needed info. So, the fixing has to be done by pip devs, or server devs, or both.
