easy_install ImportError

I was receiving “ImportError: Entry point (‘console_scripts’, ‘easy_install’) not found”

I removed and reinstalled the distribute tools and was able to get it working again.

1. Check your /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin for easy_install installations and remove any old script:

sudo rm /usr/bin/easy_install*
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/easy_install*

2. Download and run distribute:

curl -O http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py
sudo python distribute_setup.py
sudo rm distribute_setup.py

3. Try again, and enjoy.

sudo easy_install pip
