So.... If I look at sys.path in python, I do see
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
(and I didn't do anything special to make this happen.)
Also, which pybombs points to
/usr/local/bin/pybombs
And my install location for pybombs is
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
From the standpoint of a fresh install (which you certainly no longer have), I think the problem comes in when you fail to have permissions on the pybombs bin... I suspect that's something to do with your weird sudo script and not pip or pybombs, but I'm not sure.
If you could get back to the state you were in after your initial attempt to install, I'd like to know the value of your sys.path in python.
Right now, you have a frankenbuild for pybombs thanks to running sudo with the --user flag... I would uninstall that, for sure and get to where you have no pybombs installed anywhere.
So... as for why you can't pip install pybombs (no sudo)... this has to be a setuptools thing.
Maybe try
easy_install --version
and
sudo easy_install --version
to see if there's a difference. Because your sudo is broken, you may have to do a lot of "sudo which blah" and "which blah" to find out what your problem is.
You can probably try an install without any sudo use by first sudo apt-get remove --purge pip and then downloading and using get-pip.py. Then just pip install pybombs (no flags, no sudo, no nothing)... and try that one.
Cheers,

Hi Nick!
I did. When I run it I get:
Requirement already up-to-date: setuptools in
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
I am not on a thin client, I am on a fresh load of 16.04 on an
actual PC. I do believe that sudo isn't actually sudo, but a
script. That said, I wasn't having sudo issues before I reloaded my
machine (which was running 14.04).
Thanks!

Jason, did you try
pip install --upgrade setuptools
as a first step? Are you running on a special setup such
as a patchwork virtual machine being served to you on a
thinclient with f**ed permissions?

I am still stuck at this stage. Assuming I am dead in the
water, what is the next best (approved) way of installing
GnuRadio? Doing it by hand from the github clone?
