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):

Hey,

This is actually a bug with pip not with CPython and is being tracked by https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/3408. It's fixed in pip's repository and we'll soon have an 8.0.1 release out to fix it.
