I've done a reinstall of python

sudo apt-get install --reinstall python

That didn't fix it. Then I noticed pip wasn't even working, so I tried

for pkg in `dpkg --get-selections | egrep -v 'deinstall' | egrep python | awk '{print $1}'`; do  apt-get -y --force-yes install --reinstall $pkg ; done

which I got over here. That got me back to a working python2.7.12 and a working pip, but when I try running salt-minion again, I get:

root@box:~# salt-minion -l debug

I realize after troubleshooting a lot that I have both python2.7.12 and python 3.5.2 installed. I saw this tip on a bug about the cryptography module for python, so I tried

pip install enum34

but that didn't make difference either.

I'd really like to get salt-minion running on this box. Can someone recommend a way to fix my python installation?
