It might automatically be fixed now by pip’s release: https://github.com/pypa/pip/pull/6185, which includes https://github.com/pypa/pip/pull/6171

We also plan to fix Certbot so that it won’t be affected should this happen again: https://github.com/certbot/certbot/issues/6685

So if you manually make the change now, future versions of Certbot will automatically incorporate the change, on our end.

New install, Ubuntu 16.04 on AWS.
Installed letsencrypt by:

git clone https://github.com/letsencrypt/letsencrypt /opt/letsencrypt

I added the “–no-download” fix to those 2 lines, still fails

We were not be able to guess the right solution from your pip
output.
