This is all on an iMac OSX 10.9.2
When doing a Homebrew install of python2.7 everything appears to be creating correctly. However upon finishing and attempting anything with pip or easy_install I keep getting the following error:
$ pip install virtualenv
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/pip", line 5, in <module>
from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
ImportError: No module named pkg_resources
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Brewed python with the same results. I also ran the install with -v which produced the following:
==> Verifying python-2.7.6.mavericks.bottle.tar.gz checksum
==> Pouring python-2.7.6.mavericks.bottle.tar.gz
tar xf /Library/Caches/Homebrew/python-2.7.6.mavericks.bottle.tar.gz
==> Caveats
Python demo
/usr/local/share/python/Extras
Setuptools and Pip have been installed. To update them
pip install --upgrade setuptools
pip install --upgrade pip
You can install Python packages with (the outdated easy_install or)
`pip install <your_favorite_package>`
They will install into the site-package directory
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages
See: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/wiki/Homebrew-and-Python
.app bundles were installed.
Run `brew linkapps` to symlink these to /Applications.

I noticed that the Homebrew Python page indicated that "brew install python" should create a site packages folder at '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages'. However when I navigate to '/usr/local/lib' and use 'ls -a' there are no folders pertaining to python.
brew doctor reports no errors
Thank you in advance and please let me know what additional information may be needed.
To install setuptools visit http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools and follow the instructions for your operating system. Also, check out http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall for more instructions on how to install setup tools.
Even in a vanilla version of Python 3.7. 6 (installed via pyenv ), the packages installed by default are both pip and setuptools .
pip is a higher-level interface on top of setuptools or Distribute.
In case anyone else runs into this I did manage to find a solution from the following page:
https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/issues/27515
It is apparently a bug in this most recent build. Doing a
brew install python --with-brewed-openssl
appears to do the trick.
