Pip installing into an older Python version

Question

I am trying to install mysql-python using:

pip install mysql-python

the package is being installed below, although I already have Python 2.

Answer 1

You should have pip-2.6. If you don't have pip version 2.6 :

You have to install setuptools for Python 2.6 (example : setuptools-0.6c11-py2.6.egg). Then, you have easy_install-2.6. You can do :

easy_install-2.6 pip

Finally, you have pip version 2.6. To install mysql-python :

pip-2.6 install mysql-python
