Right now I cannot reinstall (or better said upgrade to 20.04) my Ubuntu
since I cannot backup my home directory 

My last attempt to sort out this mess.

sudo -H pip uninstall kallisthea

And off it is from /usr/local/lib/python2.7
pip install --user kallithea

Gives me now 

Using cached Kallithea-0.6.1.tar.gz (4.3 MB)

And Ubuntu 16.04 comes with python 3.5 so end of game, maybe I could try
to install it from source

I have a question about the documentation but I will open a new thread.

thanks
