I'm a newbie and I needed the pySerial and feedparser module for my projects. I'm running Mountain lion.
I followed the following tutorial so that I could upgrade to python 2.7.3 and then use the above mentioned modules.
I followed this tutorial till I installed pip. Instead of installing Virtualenv. I used the following commands to install pySerial and feedparser
$ pip install pySerial
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): pySerial in /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages
Cleaning up...
I assumed that this was already present and checked it. Python seems to be importing this just fine. My python version has been upgraded to 2.7.3 btw since I installed it using homebrew as mentioned in the tutorial.
Then I tried installing feedparser
$ pip install feedparser
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): feedparser in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages
Cleaning up...
Notice how its in the site-packages directory in the usr/local/lib.
All of my pip installs are being installed in that directory but python does not seem to be picking them up when i try importing them.
How do I set the path so that python also looks there as well as core directory?
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
but niether of them are in the same situation as I am. I don't understand why this is happening as i edited my bash_profile with the following
# Set architecture flags
export ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64"
# Ensure user-installed binaries take precedence
export PATH=/usr/local/share/python:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
# Load .bashrc if it exists
test -f ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc
then installed homebrew and then installed python 2.7.3 through homebrew (2.7.3 is now currently running on my machine)
I figured all pip installs would be correctly linked?

As a quick workaround, and assuming that you are on a bash-like terminal (Linux/OSX), you can try to export the PYTHONPATH environment variable:
export PYTHONPATH="${PYTHONPATH}:/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages:/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages"
For Python 2.7
