I have used pip to update and install some libraries on a computer that hadd an old Numpy version. But it doesn't seem to be actually applied:
davidm@illergard:~$ python
Python 2.7.3 (default, Feb 27 2014, 19:58:35)
[GCC 4.6.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import numpy
>>> numpy.__version__
'1.6.1'
Ipython, on the other hand, does see the new libraries:
davidm@illergard:~$ ipython
Python 2.7.3 (default, Feb 27 2014, 19:58:35)
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
IPython 2.1.0 -- An enhanced Interactive Python.
? -> Introduction and overview of IPython's features.
%quickref -> Quick reference.
help -> Python's own help system.
object? -> Details about 'object', use 'object??' for extra details.
In [1]: import numpy
In [2]: numpy.__version__
Out[2]: '1.8.1'
This would suggest Ipython is running a different Python. Let's see it:
davidm@illergard:~$ which python
/usr/bin/python
davidm@illergard:~$ which ipython
/usr/local/bin/ipython
davidm@illergard:~$ cat /usr/local/bin/ipython
#!/usr/bin/python
# EASY-INSTALL-ENTRY-SCRIPT: 'ipython==2.1.0','console_scripts','ipython'
__requires__ = 'ipython==2.1.0'
import sys
from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
if __name__ == '__main__':
sys.exit(
load_entry_point('ipython==2.1.0', 'console_scripts', 'ipython')()
)
The shebang corresponds to the very same Python! Virtualenv is not installed, so that is not the problem.
