Made the upgrade to Mac OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) and get now the following error when trying to call $ pip
:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/pip", line 5, in <module>
from pkg_resources import load_entry_point

raise DistributionNotFound(req) # XXX put more info here
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: pip==1.1
Update: Tried to reinstall by doing the install procedure again (with http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/installing.html#using-the-installer and easy_install
), but didn't work, got the same error.
Tried now the following: Calling $ sudo pip
and the above error disappears. Strange is, that the directories which could not befound in the above error message point to /System/Library/... while the python installation is (new ?) to find in /Library/Frameworks/..:
$ which python
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/python
Any idea how to get rid of the sudo?
One of the most common problems with running Python tools like pip is the “not on PATH” error. This means that Python cannot find the tool you're trying to run in your current directory. In most cases, you'll need to navigate to the directory in which the tool is installed before you can run the command to launch it.
Many users question exactly just how to upgrade to the latest version of PIP, given the ever-evolving and fast-moving python ecosystem. The short answer is, pip is just like any other PyPI package and you can upgrade it to newer (or downgrade to older) versions, just as you would upgrade or downgrade any other package.
Sometimes when you are installing packages, you might face the error: pip: command not found . This error could be due to the following reasons: Pip is not installed. Pip is installed, but it is not compatible with the current environment.
Use easy_install
to update your pip
to the latest version:
sudo easy_install -U pip
Also make sure you have the lastest XCode
installed (ver 4.4) with Command Line Tools
.
This works for me
rm -f /usr/local/bin/easy_install
brew reinstall python
pip install --upgrade setuptools
pip install --upgrade pip
I had a similar error except that sudo pip
did not work either. I am using a "brew" installation of python (which is symlinked to /usr/local/bin) and found that the problem was that the shebangs in the pip and easy_install files were hardcoded to #!/usr/bin/python
instead of #!/usr/local/bin/python
, and so was using the system python version instead of the brew version.
