What version of Python did pip or easy_install make as the default?

I am not a programmer who started learning Python. My Mac OS X Yosemite ships with Python 2.7.6. I also installed Python 3.4.2. If I use pip

or easy_install

in terminal to install a package, how do I know which Python I have installed the package in? It looks like Python 3.4.2 ships with pip

and easy_install

, but I think Python 2.7.6 may also have some version pip

or easy_install

. I know my system can have both versions of Python, but can it have multiple versions pip

or easy_install

?

The easy way is to use pip2

either pip2.7

or pip-2.7

for Python 2 and pip3

or pip3.4

or pip-3.4

for Python 3. Both versions ship with easy_install

, but Python 2 doesn't contain it by default pip

- you need to install it yourself.

pip -V

to find the default python version



If you have multiple versions, they are usually named pip2

for Python2, pip3

for Python3, etc.

You don't need to use easy_install anymore
