pip and easy_install work on directory hierarchy of the running python. then the idea (just the idea, not read sample) python2.7 pip.py **** will install into python2.7 directories python2.7 easy_install.py **** will install into python2.7 directories python2.6 pip.py **** will install into python2.6 directories python2.6 easy_install.py **** will install into python2.6 directories For example (real this time) to install easy_install for your 2.7 wget http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py python2.7 ez_setup.py > > Oh and weirdly if I tell pip to uninstall modules it says the module > does not exist. For example: "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/ > Versions/2.7/bin/pip run on Tue Aug 16 11:46:28 2011 > Cannot uninstall requirement reportlab, not installed" Probably because you run installed pip from python2.7 directory, that certainly use python2.7 binary, and then pip uninstall from python2.7 directories > > So why is it installing to one place (the 2.6 library) and trying to > uninstall elsewhere (the 2.7 library)?
