Scrapy requires python 2.7, but I already have

Question

I primarily work on osx 10.6.8

I installed scrapy using the command:

sudo easy_install Scrapy

and everything seemed to be working fine. but when I try to create a new project using

scrapy startproject tutorial

i only

Scrapy 0.22.2 requires Python 2.7

I tried this solution, but I have the same problem. how can i fix this?

EDIT: I think I understood the problem: easy-installreferrs to an old version of python (2.6) which is on my system under /Library/Python/2.6(maybe it was pre-installed), so I installed scrapy for python 2.6! why am I getting an error. but now I don’t know how to install scrapy for the correct version of python!
