ImportError: No module named pip when trying to install packages

Question

Have a fresh install of Ubuntu 13.10 with PyCharm and when setting up the python interpreter I selected \'install setuptools\', then \'install pip\'. Now if I try and do any

Answer 1

I found that on Ubuntu, pip will not always set read and execute permissions for the modules it installs. My solution is to always run this shell script:

sudo chmod -R a+rX /usr/lib/python*/dist-packages/
sudo chmod -R a+rX /usr/local/lib/python*/dist-packages/
sudo chmod a+rX /usr/bin/*
sudo chmod a+rX /usr/local/bin/*

Answer 2

Download the file get-pip.py from the pip-website (http://pip.readthedocs.org/en/stable/installing/). Open the terminal, cd in to the folder where you placed get-pip.py and run:

sudo python3 get-pip.py

Open pycharm and install desired package...
