Success. Whats happening is that the second wget command is not recognizing the --no-check-certificate. So I went around the problem and installed it manually.
wget https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/s/setuptools/setuptools-7.0.zip --no-check-certificate unzip setuptools-7.0.zip python2.7 setup.py install easy_install pip I'm good. Pip is installed. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
