Unable to install new packages for Python 2.7 Mac Terminal

Question

I have installed Python 2.7 on my Mac, but I am unable to install packages using pip2.7 install. Any time I try to install a package in the terminal, for example,

pip2.7 install pandas

I get the OSError:

OSError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted:

I also have Python 3.6 installed and I am able to install packages for that version, but I have some work that needs to be done in 2.7 and I want to be able to run my script and ensure that it works in 2.7.

That common doesn't throw an error, but when I try to import pandas in a python shell, it says that the module cannot be found . — Megan, Nov 07 '17 at 03:45
This [link](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15052206/python-pip-install-module-is-not-found-how-to-link-python-to-pip-location) fixed the import issue, not sure why but I can import pandas now... — Megan, Nov 07 '17 at 04:06
Great, thanks for the link. I've closed as a duplicate of that. — cs95, Nov 07 '17 at 04:06

you can't change thing in /system on mac and the default python‘s library of mac is here. So you can't install anything.

The best way is install a new python of 2.7

The another way is close the rootless of mac.

Are you serious? You want to open OP's computer to security threats through mis-information? – cs95 Nov 07 '17 at 03:54
I'm sorry for what 's the "OP"meaning? I have four version of python on mac, installing multi-version maybe a good way. – Yang MingHui Nov 07 '17 at 04:04
