Remove Python 2.6? Point pip at 2.7

Hi all,

I know this isn't quite on topic, but I haven't got anywhere else to post this. I'm running El Capitan & Indigo 7. Trying to use the Security Camera plugin, I need to install PIL. When I do that, pip apparently installs it in the Python 2.6 instance, which Indigo doesn't use and Security Camera can't either.

which python just tells me

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/python

though in there I see 2.6 and 2.7.
So, I need to know

Is there a way to get pip to work with the other instance of Python? Is it as simple as

Code: Select all

sudo port select --set python python27

oris that just for MacPorts?
if not
Is it OK to uninstall Python 2.6? I found these directionsand can probably follow them targeting 2.6.

Maybe, maybe I have it. This maybe worked:

Code: Select all

2doghill:bin macadmin$ sudo /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python2.7 /usr/local/bin/pip install pillow

You should be able to use pip2.7 to install for Python 2.7. You might need to "sudo easy_install pip2.7" first.
