A friend was having trouble installing Beautiful Soup (a python library for web crawling) using pip install beautifulsoup4 (mainly because he didn’t have pip installed and could not install pip using easy_install for some reason). In these situations it’s often easier to remove old installs and start fresh. Below I show how to remove old easy_install scripts, reinstall it, and then install pip to ultimately get the Beautiful Soup python package (on a mac). 

Here’s the error message he was getting. The solution I’m providing is down below. 

pip install beautifulsoup4 -bash: pip: command not found

easy_install beautifulsoup4 Traceback (most recent call last):  File "/usr/local/bin/easy_install", line 5, in <module>    from pkg_resources import load_entry_point  File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/pkg_resources.py", line 2793, in <module>    working_set.require(__requires__)  File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/pkg_resources.py", line 673, in require    needed = self.resolve(parse_requirements(requirements))  File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/pkg_resources.py", line 576, in resolve    raise DistributionNotFound(req) pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: distribute==0.6.10

To resolve this, first remove old easy_install scripts from the following directories 

sudo rm -f /usr/bin/easy_install*

sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/easy_install*

Then download and run the distribute_setup.py 

curl -O https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/oodt/tools/oodtsite.publisher/trunk/distribute_setup.py

sudo python distribute_setup.py

sudo rm distribute_setup.py

Now install pip using

sudo easy_install pip

And finally, install Beautiful Soup
