I am trying to update the library numpyon macOS but pipdoes not seem to have sufficient permissions to remove numpy. Running "pip install --upprade pip" gives me this trace:
➜ Desktop sudo -H pip install

Installing collected packages: numpy
Found existing installation: numpy 1.8.0rc1
DEPRECATION: Uninstalling a distutils installed project (numpy) has been deprecated and will be removed in a future version. This is due to the fact that uninstalling a distutils project will only partially uninstall the project.
Uninstalling numpy-1.8.0rc1:
Exception:

Thus, it is obvious that the pip has problems with removal /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/numpy-1.8.0rc1-py2.7.egg-info. Trying to delete this file manually in finder gives me this error:
"numpy-1.8.0rc1-py2.7.egg-info" cannot be changed or deleted because it is required by OS X.
How can i solve this? (Using inline numpy is not an option, because the tensorflowpackage I need needs the latest version).
