Python is on version 2.7.3, but when i try to upgrade python through “pip” i get this:
$ pip install --upgrade python
Requirement already up-to-date: python in /usr/lib64/python2.6/lib-dynload
Cleaning up...

pipinstalls python packages, not python itself.Changing a system python version is a bad idea. To install an additional python version system-wide you could use your system package manager such as
apt-get.To manage personal python installations you could use
pythonz.
