I'm running into the same issue. Using python venv I was able to get certbot working using pip.

Steps: Install virtualenv

pip install virtualenv --upgrade

Create a virtualenv

virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python2.7 certbot

Activate the certbot virtualenv

. /root/certbot/bin/activate

Your prompt might turn into something like this

(certbot) [root@hostname ~]#

Then pip install certbot

pip install certbot

Once complete you can test certbot command under the certbot virtualenv, but this is not practical if you are going to use cron to setup certbot renewals. So deactivate the virtual environment,

(certbot) [root@hostname ~]# deactivate

Now run the certbot command from

/root/certbot/bin/certbot
