Install plpython on mac with python 2.7

Question

I need to install plpython because I'm getting the error

could not access file "$libdir/plpython2": No such file or directory

when trying to do python manage.py migrate. I have seen different suggestions on how to install this package but none works for me because I need to be using python version 2.7 (some people suggested installing python 3.2) and I cannot run sudo apt-get install ... because I have to be working on a mac.

I have tried running

CREATE LANGUAGE plpython2u;

but I got the error

ERROR:  could not access file "$libdir/plpython2": No such file or directory

Also, I have tried pip/brew install plpython. But no result. Any suggestions?

If anybody has the same problem, I fixed this by uninstalling postgres and installing it using brew install postgres --with-python
