hi,
I use pythonbrew to install python 2.7.7 and switch to python 2.7.7 in my Lubuntu 14.04.

pythonbrew install 2.7.7
pythonbrew switch 2.7.7

However, the pip is missing.

For example, when I run

which pip

The expected result would be /home/tumh/.pythonbrew/pythons/Python-2.7.7/bin/pip

However, it returns nothing

That is, pythonbrew does not install the pip binary into .pythonbrew directory.

I am not sure if I miss some packages.

Thank you.

You need to install pip together with Python instead of Python alone.

So try this instead:

pythonbrew uninstall 2.7.7
pythonbrew install --configure="--with-zlib" 2.7.7

Also, I request that you try supporting us at: https://github.com/pybank/pythonbrew

As we are maintaining the project now.

hi,

The installation failed when I run

pythonbrew install --configure="--with-zlib" 2.7.7

The error messages are

Any suggestions?

Hello, what system are you using?

Also, is python 2.7.7 available in the config file?

If using a *nix distribution, you can check here: home/.pythonbrew/etc/config.cfg

If there is no 2.7.7 here, add it and then try running the commands (above) again.

hi @Kentoseth ,

I am using Lubuntu 14.04

The config.cfg has configured Python 2.7.7 before.

[Python-2.7.7]
url = http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.7/Python-2.7.7.tgz
latest = True

Installing setup-tool always encounters the problem.

I have installed all the dependencies as other similar issues suggest.

Any other suggestions?

Thank you!

Hi there,

Yes, I see now that Python successfully downloaded, so my mistake on the config part.

I think this might work also:

Firstly, I recommended that you uninstall 2.7.7 from pythonbrew (hopefully this is done)

Now see which python you are using by typing:

python

I'm not sure which version you might be on now, but try switching pythonbrew off at this point.

(I think it is something like:

pythonbrew off

)

Now try this command:

pythonbrew install --configure="--with-zlib" 2.7.7

Tell me the outcome of this.

hi @Kentoseth,

The python version is 2.7.6 after I uninstall 2.7.7. And 2.7.6 is my system-wide python version.

After I retry the command

pythonbrew install --configure="--with-zlib" 2.7.7

The problem still exists and the error message does not change.

Thank you.

Hi there,

My apologies for the back and forth.

Can you try running this command:

pythonbrew install --configure="--with-zlib" 2.7.6

This problem is very unusual, as I managed to get 2.7.8 running with pip.

Hi @twmht,

I get the solution.
It is shown at https://github.com/pybank/pythonbrew/pull/7/files .
Pip will be installed if you do the same modifying after that install python 2.7.7 by pythonbrew.
Let's try it!
