Make/install Python 2.7.6 over 2.7.3 on Ubuntu 12.04 VM, can't find pip installed packages
Question
My Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS VM already had Python 2.7.3 in /usr/bin:

I did a wget/configure/make/install of Python 2.7.6 yesterday, and also pip installed a few modules like braceexpand and pytz (/usr/bin/pip was used).
wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.6/Python-2.7.6.tgz
tar xvfz Python-2.7.6.tgz
cd Python-2.7.6
./configure
make
sudo make install
# add more
sudo apt-get install python2.7-dev
wget https://pypi.python.org/packages/c7/14/c4ea891fd8943623dcb325ab1194a1473351b02b82c3c58c8a4179027fdb/python-cdb-0.35.tar.gz
sudo pip install python-cdb-0.35.tar.gz
sudo pip install pytz
sudo pip install braceexpand
sudo pip install html
The modules all installed to /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (and are the only things there)

but those new modules in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages only import using /usr/bin/python (still 2.7.3).
Using the default python (/usr/local/bin/python, 2.7.6) is the version I want to run, but doesn't see any modules to import.
What did I do wrong (should I have done an upgrade instead of a wget/make/install?)
How can I fix it now?

Good question, it's nice to have the logs, and information :)
If I understand correctly, then the modules are not installing to the Python version you want?
If so try this:
- Navigate to the Python directory that you want to install the modules to.
- Then navigate from the Python directory to the
Scripts/folder. (So your directory should be something like/usr/lib/python<Python Version>/Scripts/) - Now run
sudo python pip.py install <Module Name>.
Now the module should install directly to that Python version.
If this wasn't the answer you were looking for, please leave a comment.
Hope this helps!
