Pip stuck on "Running command python setup.py egg_info" - no errors.

Question

I run Vagrant on Windows 10 with VirtualBox,Xenial64 ubuntu to load TaigaIO via manual setup.

At pip install -vvv -r requirements-devel.txt part , pip hangs forever when it tries to install django-sampledatahelper.

When i try to install just this package, it shows same effect: no errors, not going back to bash, just hanging on:

  Running setup.py (path:/tmp/pip-build-pZcRoU/django-sampledatahelper/setup.py) egg_info for package django-sampledatahelper
    Running command python setup.py egg_info

I tried fresh VM install, in virtualenv or without it, pip mirrors, removing cache and --no-cache option, xenial64 and bento/ubuntu-16.04 distros, with vagrant ssh and with Putty. Efect is the same.

I had the same issue and I run -vvv command. It seemed that pip had stopped, but I waited for a couple of minutes and the package successfully installed
