Install a module using pip for specific python version

Question

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   For example   pip install beautifulsoup4   by default installs BeautifulSoup for Python 2 6  When I do   import bs4   in Python 2 6 it works  but in Python 2 7 it says   No module named bs4

I faced a similar problem with another package called Twisted. I wanted to install it for Python 2.7, but it only got installed for Python 2.6 (system's default version).

Making a simple change worked for me.

When adding Python 2.7's path to your $PATH variable, append it to the front like this: PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH, so that the system uses that version.

If you face more problems, you can follow this blog post which helped me - https://github.com/h2oai/h2o-2/wiki/installing-python-2.7-on-centos-6.3.-follow-this-sequence-exactly-for-centos-machine-only

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

If you have both 2 7 and 3 x versions of python installed  then just rename the python exe file of python 3 x version to something like -  python exe  to  python3 exe   Now you can use pip for both versions individually  If you normally type  pip install   it will consider the 2 7 version by default  If you want to install it on the 3 x version you need to call the command as  python3 -m pip install

Use a version of pip installed against the Python instance you want to install new packages to   In many distributions  there may be separate python2 6-pip and python2 7-pip packages  invoked with binary names such as pip-2 6 and pip-2 7  If pip is not packaged in your distribution for the desired target  you might look for a setuptools or easyinstall package  or use virtualenv  which will always include pip in a generated environment    pip s website includes installation instructions  if you can t find anything within your distribution
