Just to chime in with my take on this problem:
Running on Ubuntu 13.04, I have an Python 2.7-based app that relies on the back-ported (from 3.x) "configparser" module (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/configparser)
After I do a "sudo pip install configparser", I get the behavior noticed above when software-center runs.
If I uninstall configparser via pip, the problem goes away.
Using Peter Johnson's fix/hack in #3, I have a temporary fix for this.
