Pip using system python osx

Question

I installed python26 using macports, so the correct python on my system is /opt/local/bin/python

However, when I do

sudo pip install 

        

Answer 1

Here is my setup to get pip working with macports and set py26-pip as the default pip

sudo port install py26-pip && sudo port select --set pip py26-pip

after install finishes run to see the help information for pip

pip --help

after you may need to update your path to include the bin files installed by pip edit .bash_profile to include something like

export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin:$PATH
