I used easy_install to install pip, pip to install django, virtualenv, and virtualenvwrapper.
I have just returned to it a few weeks later and django does not seem to work anymore, but more concerning is I can't start the process over again as easy_install is returning the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/easy_install-2.7", line 10, in <module>
load_entry_point('setuptools==0.6c12dev-r88846', 'console_scripts', 'easy_install')()
File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg/pkg_resources.py", line 318, in load_entry_point
File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg/pkg_resources.py", line 2220, in load_entry_point
ImportError: Entry point ('console_scripts', 'easy_install') not found
After a good evening of hunting I am stumped as to how to resolve this.

You seem to have a version conflict; note the
setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg
path, but the/usr/bin/easy_install-2.7
script wants to load0.6c12dev-r88846
instead.The latter is a development version; it has the revision number of a subversion repository embedded in the version (
dev-r88846
).I suspect you have two python installations; one is the system version (in
/System/Library
and the other is installed with the python installer into/Library/
, and the stub script in/usr/bin/
may be installed with the system python.If so, there'll be another copy of the stub at
/Library/Python/2.7/bin/easy_install-2.7
, which should work correctly.
