Somewhat strangely, pip is not installed when you install Python using FreeBSD’s pkg. However, there’s a very simple fix.
[cmp@server ~]# python -m ensurepip Ignoring indexes: https://pypi.python.org/simple Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): setuptools in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages Collecting pip Installing collected packages: pip Successfully installed pip-7.1.2 [cmp@server ~]# pip pip pip2 pip2.7
or `pkg install py27-pip`
Yes this worked for me, thank you
then do `sudo pip install –upgrade pip`
Not strange in that FreeBSD’s ports collection manages dependencies between all installed software, and using pip breaks that.
(That said, I need it to test a python library before creating a proper port.)

Thank you! It works perfectly!
