System comes with the Easy_install installation pip encountered problems, download the installation package after the report no Error, but did not really install the PIP, the location of the installation package is not found (see Easy_install Source should be downloaded to the system default temporary folder, Using the Tempfile module), to avoid a similar problem in the future, start using Python in a brew-installed/usr/local/directory.

When you finish installing Python with brew, you will be prompted

pip install --upgrade setuptoolspip install --upgrade pip

However, the upgrade Setuptools failed and needs to be manually installed after uninstalling Setuptools with Pip, but then when you upgrade Pip with Pip, There will be a large span version of 6.0, resulting in the PIP can not be used, so after upgrading Setuptools not to upgrade PIP, or use Easy_install to upgrade PIP, otherwise you can only

remove (or backup) /usr/local/lib/python2.7, andbrew rm python && brew install python

A gentler approach:

From /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages just remove:easy-install.pthpip-1.2.1-py2.7.egg or other versions of pip you have.distribute-0.6.34-py2.7.egg or other versions
