Error on Install - Cpanel Server - RedHat 2.6.32-573.12.1.el6 64Bit - Is there help available?

This is the error:

Installing setuptools==18.5

/usr/bin/python: pip is a package and cannot be directly executed

PIP for python is installed on the system.

Thank you for any assistance!

What version of python and pip are you using? Are there multiple pythons and pips installed? Are you sure they aren't cross-contaminating each other? The following commands should help reveal this:

type -a pip
type -a python
pip show pip -v
echo $PYTHON
python -c 'from pprint import pprint ; import sys, pip, platform ; print "%s\n%s\n%s" % (platform.python_version(), pip, pip.__version__); pprint(sys.path);'
