I solved a similar error on Linux by setting PYTHONPATH to the site-packages location. This was after running python get-pip.py --prefix /home/chet/pip.

[chet@rhel1 ~]$ ~/pip/bin/pip -V
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/chet/pip/bin/pip", line 7, in 
    from pip import main
ImportError: No module named pip

[chet@rhel1 ~]$ export PYTHONPATH=/home/chet/pip/lib/python2.6/site-packages

[chet@rhel1 ~]$ ~/pip/bin/pip -V
pip 9.0.1 from /home/chet/pip/lib/python2.6/site-packages (python 2.6)
