I recently updated to Python 2.7 in order to start working with Django "Django requires Python, specifically Python 2.6.5 - 2.7.x."
As a result I needed to install some of the tools I have been using when I went through the excellent LPTHW Exercise 46
- pip from http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pip
- distribute from http://pypi.python.org/pypi/distribute
- nose from http://pypi.python.org/pypi/nose/
- virtualenv from http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv
Should be easy enough, I had done it all before...
When I run python in terminal I get the below. Note: Python 2.7.5
$ python
Python 2.7.5 (v2.7.5:ab05e7dd2788, May 13 2013, 13:18:45)
[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5666) (dot 3)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>
When I type "which python" I get
$ which python
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python
However when I try to install distribute, nose or virtualenv I get the below error. Note Python/2.6
$ sudo pip install distribute
Exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):

I believe the Python/2.6 is the issue here. As a result i tried to set my Python Path (my first time) Using this question as a reference "changing python path on mac?" i typed in
PATH="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin:${PATH}"
export PATH
This has no apparent effect.
However I am still not able to run sudo pip install distribute and keep getting the same error.
Can anyone help me? Is it my Python Path? or am I looking in the wrong direction?
Any help is as always, much appreciated.
