I am trying to install Ipython 0.12 on to python 2.7. Because I’m using a MacBook python 2.5 was already installed as standard on OSX, when i try installing ipython with python setup.py install I get a message saying ERROR: 'IPython requires Python Version 2.6 or above.' I believe it is trying to install ipython on version 2.5
How can I change that to install on version 2.7 which is the one I use.
Reposting as an answer:
There should be a name like
python2.7, so runningpython2.7 setup.py installwill install it for Python 2.7. This is the same for all packages.If you want to use a tool like easy_install or pip, they also need to be installed for the relevant version of Python.
