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

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

Alternatively  since pip itself is written in python  you can just call it with the python version you want to install the package for   python2 7 -m pip install foo

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

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

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
