I just installed python 2.7 and also pip to the 2.7 site package.

When I get the version with:

pip -V

It shows:

pip 1.3.1 from /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages (python 2.6)

How do I use the 2.7 version of pip located at: 

/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages

There should be a binary called "pip2.7" installed at some location included within your $PATH variable.

You can find that out by typing

which pip2.7

This should print something like '/usr/local/bin/pip2.7' to your stdout. If it does not print anything like this, it is not installed. In that case, install it by running

$ wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
$ sudo python2.7 get-pip.py

Now, you should be all set, and

which pip2.7

should return the correct output.
