How to reinstall PIL on mac OS X Snow Leopard - django

I have been for hours on this. I needed to get jpeglib and PIL reinstalled.
I installed jpeg lib from http://www.ijg.org/, please tell me if that's right.
I still have to reinstall PIL. I installed Fink, for apt-get, but still am not clear how to uninstall completely PIL before installing it.
And then installation, do i do apt-get install py-pil only? I see different instructions here and here. Which way should I go? I also can't figure out, does sudo python setup.py install reinstall python 2.6, or it just installs whichever thing i am in the directory of? However:
[petarpetrov#/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/PIL]$ sudo python setup.py install
python: can't open file 'setup.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
thanks in advance

Don't muck about with fink. That uses a completely separate install of Python and all its dependencies. It really won't help with your actual problem.
Secondly, you're trying to run things from inside site-packages - this is wrong. Go back to the directory where you downloaded PIL (or download it again, if you don't still have it) and run sudo python setup.py install.
And no, it won't reinstall Python - it uses python to run the setup of the directory you're in.

Easy install is not recognized

I installed easy install it is in my scripts folder. I set my path variable. When I type python in cmd it works, but no matter what I try if I type easy_install it says it is not recognized. I am trying to install pip and then pytmx. is there an easier way to install pytmx? or can someone please walk me through this so I can get this working.
new variable PY_HOME value C:\Python27
path variable %PY_HOME%;%PY_HOME%\Lib;%PY_HOME%\DLLs;%PY_HOME%\Lib\lib-tk;C:\Python27\scripts
python version 2.7.8
windows 7 professional
Update uninstalled all versions of python reinstalled version 2.7.9
now pip is not a recognized command python is still recognized and give me a version number. I still cannot install pytmx.
If you install python 2.7.9 pip is included.
Then just pip install pytmx
I figured it out I needed to cd c:\python27\scripts, then use the pip install tmx command. Nothing I read anywhere suggested I had to run cmd from the directory that pip was in.

Installing Python package from source into virtualenv directory

Newbie programmer here. This is a variation of this question and this question.
I am running Python 2.7 on Windows 7, and using git bash shell. I am trying to install the numpy package into a virtualenv directory in my work directory. I cannot install it using the $pip install -r requirements.txt or the $pip install numpy commands because of errors caused by its dependencies. Here is a log file for this install failure.
Although I can install numpy directly by downloading the executable binary (.exe) from sourceforge, but it forced me to install it in the c:/Python27/Lib/site-packages directory. I need to install it in my virtualenv work directory, e.g. c:/Users/MyName/Projects/myproject/myvirtualenv.
I need help on how to download the necessary numpy files into a temp directory, and how to use pip or another tool install it into my virtualenv directory.
I researched that I can choose a target directory using the -t option in pip, e.g., "pip install numpy --target=c:/Users/MyName/Projects/myproject/myvirtualenv". But I still can't get over the dependencies errors, so pip doesn't work for me unless I can figure out how to download the numpy files (including all dependencies) into a directory and then install from there.
Thanks for your help!

Installing EWSWrapper?

How to install ewswrapper for python off of their site on a windows, (sadly), 64 bit machine with python 2.7.
The Link to the site is here.
Thank you for your help.
The generally recommended way to install python packages is using a package manager like pip or (gasp) easy_install. However, there are a few exceptions like this one.
On Windows, there may be a pre-built package for you to download. In this case, the link is http://ewswrapper.lafiel.net/index.php?al3x_download=file&userid=PUBLIC&filepath=/PYTHON_Releases/_PYTHON_2012_02_09_EWSWrapper_v_0_2.7z.
You'll need to unzip the file with 7zip, and place the resulting directory in your site-packages path. You can locate your system's site-packages path by looking at this SO answer: How do I find the location of my Python site-packages directory?
Additionally, EWSWrapper will require a few dependencies that you should be able to get in pip.
pip.exe install python-ntlm suds
If you don't have pip, you can install it: How do I install pip on Windows?
Just so you know, this isn't the normal way a package is installed. Perhaps someone should let them know...

How can I install python-Orange on ubuntu 12.10

sudo apt-get install python-Orange
or
sudo apt-get install python-orange
doesn't work
sudo python setup.py install
sudo python setup.py build
is not working as well.
Can anyone help??
Python has two tools for easy installation of all programs that are listed on the Python Package Index, also known as PyPi: These are easy_install and pip. Both retrieve very recent versions of Orange (and of any other package that is updating its PyPi entry regularly).
I installed Orange on Ubuntu 12.04 (LTS) with
pip install orange.
You will see lots of log lines indicating that Pip is downloading and compiling Orange for you. Simply wait. When pip is ready, fire up python and try to import orange. If that works, quit python and try the GUI with python /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/Orange/OrangeCanvas/orngCanvas.pyw (you probably want to create a shell alias or bash script for that one :-)
NOTE: on 12.04 I needed to first upgrade 'distribute' itself with sudo easy_install -U distribute but this was clearly indicated by pip.
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Orange/2.6/
You need to extract the dowloaded tarball on that page to a folder and then change directory to that folder. Then the sudo python setup.py... instructions will work (but you should 'build' the application before you 'install' it).
go to the given link "https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Orange/2.6/"
download the package and extract the file
install with given command
python setup.py build
python setup.py install
note:- during installation make sure that your net is working because it downloads required packages. Also it may ask for C++ or gcc compilers while installing and could be terminate just read the errors care fully and install requires packages from the synaptic package manage in ubuntu.

Trouble install PIP Windows

I have read posts on here but something doesn't seem to work. I am new to Python dev. I am running windows 7 64bit.
I am trying to install pip which I have downloaded and have easy_install in my c:\python27\scripts directory. When I use powershell and type
"python easy_install pip"
I get the error message:
"can't open file easy_install": [Errno 2] No such file or directory.
This seems odd as I can see the easy_install.exe is in that directory.
I have added c:\python27\scripts to my system PATH but, to be honest, I am not sure if this is right.
Could someone please help?
Thank you.
The selected answer dint fix it
This did:
python -m pip install -U pip
The best way to fix this is to compile easy_install yourself. First download the source code, and then compile it using python.
1 - Go here.
2 - Then extract the file, using 7-zip, or any software that can unzip a tar file. This is a tar.gz file, so after one extraction, it will give you the tar file, and then it will give you the actual directory and files for setup tools
3 - Go into the directory where you stored the contents of the extraction (using command prompt). For example, if you stored the directory on your desktop, you cd Desktop and then you go
cd dir_where_easy_install_is.
4 - Then run this command python setup.py install
That will install easy_install for you.
5 - Go back to your command line again, and then just type in easy_install pip, and that will install pip.
Then go ahead, and test it out, by installing django, just go into your command prompt, and enter this pip install django. After the download and the install, type in pip list, and see if django is in there. If it is, then pip has been successfully installed.
This worked running python from it's main dir against the easy_install.py in the extracted setuptools directory.
Then pip files should be in the Scripts dir.
Don't forget to run your CMD as administrator.
