Thanks for all your suggestions. I took the option of downloading .tar.gz pip from PyPI; untar; cd to it; then;
sudo python setup.py install This installed successfully finishing with: Processing dependencies for pip==6.0.dev1 Finished processing dependencies for pip==6.0.dev1 Depending on where I read it seemed to require setuptools. I installed it with a similar method. ~/Desktop/setuptools-7.0$ sudo python setup.py install I thought that might fix trying to install virtualenv. $ pip install virtualenv -bash: pip: command not found This looks like a PATH omission. I found a file pip in the directory below and tried to install virtualenv again but again received the command not found error. /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin$ I also looked in /usr and /opt and beneath to try to find the pip application but without success. Can you tell me where to find the pip application so I can use it and add it to my Path ? Overall: based on my reading; if I have Python, Pip, Install Tools, and Virtual Environment I’ll be able to install and use a PyPI package. I had also installed MacPorts to be able to install the SciPy stack from scipy.org <http://scipy.org/>. It contains several scientific packages needed for the PyPI package. thanks, Paul _______________________________________________________________________________________ > On Nov 24, 2014, at 4:10 AM, Albert-Jan Roskam <fo...@yahoo.com> wrote: > > >> From: Paul LaBerge <labergep...@icloud.com> >> To: tutor@python.org >> Sent: Monday, November 24, 2014 6:05 AM >> Subject: [Tutor] attempting to install PIP >> >> >> >> Hello, >> I’m trying to install PIP on a Mac running Yosemite.
