1) apparently successful install of beta
2) xcode command line tools installed via terminal
3) python -V confirms new python same as old apparently
4) sudo easy_install pip
5) pip install ansible, sudo pip install pycurl both fail with error code 1 in /private/var/folders/fr/[a long alphanumeric]/T/pip-build-poZbVr/MarkupSafe/
sad!
What version of python are you trying to install?
You might need PIP3
I am not trying to install python, it is bundled with macOS
I am trying to use Pip to install the basic python packages without using a virtualenv
I really cannot understand the logic of this answer. Let me explain myself clearly: I am trying to use pip from python 2.7, to install python packages on my macOS computer that comes with python 2.7, for a program that has dependencies on python 2.7. There is no point in saying that I might need something else because what I need is for the standard macOS release of python to have functionality with the most valid most popular most usable python package installer. When you say "might need", what exactly do you mean?
Or are you suggesting I use pip3 even with python 2.7 generally?
When was the last time you installed pip successfully?
this is OS specific, I have been able to successfully use pip install after a homebrew installation + symlinking of python in path
well you are getting Error meaning something is not installing correctly so what I mean about pip3 is trying a different verison of Python, instead of python 2.7 try python3
Do you need 2.7?
