Christoph Haas discusses virtualenv, easy_install, pip, apt/yum https://workaround.org/easy-install-debian
Stackoverflow says use pip over easy_install, but things have been changing over the past few years, so the future/best practice may require a bit more digging.
Basic PIP
pip is a fast-moving target and the packaged versions in Debian or Ubuntu are old and buggy. So, you should get pip from upstream.
- Installing a package is as simple as
sudo pip install foo - Upgrades are
sudo pip install --upgrade foo sudo pip uninstall fooif you want to remove foo[1]

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/dopy*since old pip is buggy. Or try without sudo. Or just upgrade pip
