I screwed up the system version of Python Pip on Ubuntu 12.10

Question

I wanted to update pip on my main install of Python, specifically to get the list command. Which also includes the list- updates capability.

So I ran:

Answer 1

I had the same message on linux.

/usr/bin/pip: No such file or directory

but then checked which pip was being called.

$ which pip
/usr/local/bin/pip 

On my debian wheezy machine I fixed it doing following...

/usr/local/bin/pip uninstall pip  
apt-get remove python-pip  
apt-get install python-pip  

====================================
This was due to mixup installing with apt-get and updating with pip install -U pip.

These also installed libraries at 2 different places which caused problems for me.

/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages  
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
