      When trying to install a package with the pip provider

      Info: Using configured environment 'xxx'
      Info: Retrieving pluginfacts
      Info: Retrieving plugin
      Info: Loading facts
      Info: Caching catalog for myhost.com
      Info: Applying configuration version '123213'
      Error: Failed to apply catalog: undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass
       
      

      with --trace it points to:

      The code is:

      1  def self.pip_version
      2    pip_cmd = self.pip_cmd
      3    return nil unless pip_cmd
      4    execpipe [pip_cmd, '--version'] do |process|
      5      process.collect do |line|
      6        return line.strip.match(/^pip (\d+\.\d+\.?\d*).*$/)[1]
      7      end
      8    end
      9  end
      
      

      Line 6 fails when "pip --version" returns other information:

      # pip --version
      /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/urllib3/contrib/socks.py:37: DependencyWarning: SOCKS support in urllib3 requires the installation of optional dependencies: specifically, PySocks.  For more information, see https://urllib3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/contrib.html#socks-proxies
        DependencyWarning
      pip 1.5.6 from /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (python 2.7)
      

      Because then there is no match, it returns null and using [1] on null obviously fails.

      Installing python-pysocks removes the warning and fixes the puppet run.

      Desired Behavior:

      The pip_version function should be able to handle additional output. Either by checking if there is a match or by filtering out stderr.
