On Ubuntu 10.04 by default Python 2.6 is installed, then I have installed Python 2.7. How can I use pip install to install packages for Python 2.7.

Answer 1

Alternatively, if you want to install specific version of the package with the specific version of python, this is the way

sudo python2.7 -m pip install pyudev=0.16

if the "=" doesnt work, use ==

x@ubuntuserv:~$ sudo python2.7 -m pip install pyudev=0.16

Invalid requirement: 'pyudev=0.16' = is not a valid operator. Did you mean == ?

x@ubuntuserv:~$ sudo python2.7 -m pip install pyudev==0.16

works fine
