I've got one python2 mod that requires some python modules be installed via pip2 install -r requirements.txt.  When I run the mod via Mystic, I get an error message that the mods aren't installed.  More details are in the discussion on Mystic BBS dev forum.

The reason for changing distros is that on the Mystic wiki, there's a comment that the default python2 that comes with Ubuntu does not play nice with the embedded python in Mystic. The fix, according to the wiki, is to recompile python with some specific modules.  I have not been able to find a file for one of the modules (libreadline-gplv2-dev) that will install.

I'm open to other solutions if you've got any to offer!
