I’m using Mac OS X 10.6.8 and python 2.7.3. I’m trying to use pip to install ipython, and running sudo pip install ipython installs successfully, but when I try to run ipython I get “command not found”. I cannot find where pip installs packages, or why it’s not linking correctly. I’m very new with this, please help!

    For me, on an OS X 10.5, the default installation of Python is soft-linked to /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/, and ipython is at /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/ipython. Make sure the bin directory it’s sitting in is in your shell PATH. Type:

    $ export PATH=/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin:$PATH

    , then try running ipython. If that works, edit your ~/.profile to update your PATH permanently.
