missing pip
hi, I use pythonbrew to install python 2.7.7 and switch to python 2.7.7 in my Lubuntu 14.04.
pythonbrew install 2.7.7
pythonbrew switch 2.7.7
However, the pip is missing.
For example, when I run
which pip
The expected result would be /home/tumh/.pythonbrew/pythons/Python-2.7.7/bin/pip
However, it returns nothing
That is, pythonbrew does not install the pip binary into .pythonbrew directory.
I am not sure if I miss some packages.
Thank you.
You need to install pip together with Python instead of Python alone.
So try this instead:
pythonbrew uninstall 2.7.7 pythonbrew install --configure="--with-zlib" 2.7.7
Also, I request that you try supporting us at: https://github.com/pybank/pythonbrew
As we are maintaining the project now.
hi,
The installation failed when I run
pythonbrew install --configure="--with-zlib" 2.7.7
The error messages are

Any suggestions?

Hello, what system are you using?
Also, is python 2.7.7 available in the config file?
If using a *nix distribution, you can check here: home/.pythonbrew/etc/config.cfg
If there is no 2.7.7 here, add it and then try running the commands (above) again.
hi @Kentoseth ,
I am using Lubuntu 14.04
The config.cfg has configured Python 2.7.7 before.
[Python-2.7.7]
url = http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.7/Python-2.7.7.tgz
latest = True
Installing setup-tool always encounters the problem.
I have installed all the dependencies as other similar issues suggest.
Any other suggestions?
Thank you!
Hi there,
Yes, I see now that Python successfully downloaded, so my mistake on the config part.
I think this might work also:
Firstly, I recommended that you uninstall 2.7.7 from pythonbrew (hopefully this is done)
Now see which python you are using by typing:
python
I'm not sure which version you might be on now, but try switching pythonbrew off at this point.
(I think it is something like:
pythonbrew off
)
Now try this command:
pythonbrew install --configure="--with-zlib" 2.7.7
Tell me the outcome of this.
hi @Kentoseth,
The python version is 2.7.6 after I uninstall 2.7.7. And 2.7.6 is my system-wide python version.
After I retry the command
pythonbrew install --configure="--with-zlib" 2.7.7
The problem still exists and the error message does not change.
Thank you.
Hi there,
My apologies for the back and forth.
Can you try running this command:
pythonbrew install --configure="--with-zlib" 2.7.6
This problem is very unusual, as I managed to get 2.7.8 running with pip.
Hi @twmht,
I get the solution. It is shown at https://github.com/pybank/pythonbrew/pull/7/files . Pip will be installed if you do the same modifying after that install python 2.7.7 by pythonbrew. Let's try it!
