I can't use pip2 error finding 'package.requirements' package

Recently I deleted all the files from the directory

/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/

Now I am desperate, I can't use pip2, I already reinstalled some of the packages I deleted but now I don't know how to fix this one, I already installed the package python2-packaging and the file requirements.py is in that directory:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/pip2", line 6, in <module>
    from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 74, in <module>
    __import__('pkg_resources.extern.packaging.requirements')
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/extern/__init__.py", line 61, in load_module
    "distribution.".format(**locals())
ImportError: The 'packaging.requirements' package is required; normally this is bundled with this package so if you get this warning, consult the packager of your distribution.

Is there an easier way to fix this? I already tried to reinstall python2 and python2-pip.

Why did you delete that directory? Did you reinstall all the packages that install files to it? Check with 'pacman -Qo /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages' to get a list of the aforementioned packages, then 'pacman -Qkk pkg pkg ...'. Any packages that report missing files, reinstall.

First fix *all* of the packages you broke. Get a list of what you need to reinstall with `pacman -Qkq`
