    copied!<p>EDIT2: OK this is weird. (I can't answer my own question, so I just put it as another edit to the question. I think it has something to do with the fact that I tried to do this installation within a Dropbox-synced directory. I got this to work on my Desktop. Can anyone explain why this is the case?</p> <h2>Original question:</h2> <p>I'm trying to do Heroku's Python setup tutorial (http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/python), on my Mac OS X (Lion), but I get caught up with the step of creating a virtualenv.</p> <p>So what I did was this in the command line (not using sudo caused permissions error):</p> <pre><code>sudo pip install virtualenv </code></pre> <p>But then, when I do "virtualenv venv --distribute" (I also tried with sudo), I get the following error:</p> <pre><code>New python executable in venv/bin/python Installing distribute..............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................done. Installing pip... Error [Errno 2] No such file or directory while executing command /Users/AndyFang/Drop...env/bin/easy_install /Library/Python/2.7/...pport/pip-1.1.tar.gz ...Installing pip...done. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/virtualenv", line 8, in &lt;module&gt; load_entry_point('virtualenv==1.7.1.2', 'console_scripts', 'virtualenv')() File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/virtualenv.py", line 928, in main never_download=options.never_download) File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/virtualenv.py", line 1042, in create_environment install_pip(py_executable, search_dirs=search_dirs, never_download=never_download) File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/virtualenv.py", line 640, in install_pip filter_stdout=_filter_setup) File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/virtualenv.py", line 966, in call_subprocess cwd=cwd, env=env) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 672, in __init__ errread, errwrite) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 1202, in _execute_child raise child_exception OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory </code></pre> <p>Not really sure what to do. It seemed like I didn't have easy_install on my Mac, but I do have it... I'm not sure what the deal is?</p> <p>EDIT: I also just tried installing virtualenv with easy_install, but I get the exact same error.</p>
