RHEL TLDR;¶

add alias for running easy_intall & pip via python26¶

alias easy26='sudo python26 /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/easy_install.py'
easy26 pip

optional, but do yourself a favor¶

pip install virtualenv
sudo mkdir /var/local/virt
sudo chown mdid:staff virt
virtualenv-2.6 -v --no-site-packages virt/mdid3
source virt/mdid3/bin/activate

... and then when you’re done

deactivate
