    Doesn't work. Although the latest version of pip installed a pip-2.6 script, it didn't bother to install a pip-2.5 script. Commented Feb 22, 2011 at 20:06

    You need to update your python2.5 pip version... It only creates pip-{PYVERSION} under the python you are using pip. Commented Feb 23, 2011 at 23:45

    This is incorrect. I'm running pip 1.2.1 with Python2.7 on Ubuntu, and there are no alternative pip versions. Commented Oct 2, 2012 at 1:19

    @rodling: probably you didn't installed pip via pip/easy_install or get-pip.py or you don't have python2.7. if you have python2.7, try: pip install --upgrade pip and you should have pip and pip-2.7 Commented Aug 16, 2013 at 20:46

    @J.C.Rocamonde: the program pip gets picked based on the environment variable $PATH. If you want to change what is the "default" pip program, reorder the $PATH environment variable. Search for something like "path environment variable linux" for more details on $PATH. Commented Jan 19, 2016 at 20:39
