I followed the instructions at http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/starting/install/osx/ , but for some reason this is not happening as I expect it to be expected.
I have python 2.7 working by default, but I needed to update easy_install by following these instructions: https://superuser.com/questions/256717/easy-install-the-wrong-version-of-python-modules-mac -os and linking it to / usr / local / bin / share / usr / local / bin. It seems to be working fine.
The problem is that now, when I install pip, it seems to install 2.6, not 2.7.

After MartijnPieters comments, this problem is NO LONG persist

But pip is still creating environments with python-2.6. So I have to point it to the correct python interpreter.
