Crash: pip install --user baboon about baboon

[SeyZ]

Have you got your PYTHONUSERBASE set to the directory you want?

export PYTHONUSERBASE=<the_path_you_want>
pip install baboon --user

I haven't set the PYTHONUSERBASE.
Other python packages install to the ~/.local/ directory when installed with pip install --user packagename

This was due to an outdated distribute on my system. This was fixed with sudo pip install --upgrade distribute.

Great!
