How to install pip and easy_install on CentOS

Question

I tried to install pip and easy_install on my CentOS but could not find them.

How can I install them?

Also, I have two versions of Python, 2.4 and 2.7. How will pip make sure to link newly installed components with Python 2.7?

It was simple. The path of pip is:

/opt/python2.7/bin/pip

If it's not there then install using:

/opt/python2.7/bin/easy_install pip

and it will install it.

Any packages in the repos will be built for 2.4. You will need to install them from source with 2.7.

python2.7 setup.py install
