I have been trying to figure this out for a while now and for some reason I get stuck with an ssl issue and have no idea what is going on.
Problem:
I have installed python2.7 and easy_install2.7, but when trying to install pip with easy_install2.7 I get the following error.
[root@cops-wc-01]# /usr/local/bin/easy_install-2.7 pip
