I am trying to pip install virtualenv (and anything else) on OS X El Capitan and got the following error:

Looks pip is trying to write in '/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages' and due to SIP in El Capitan it got denied.
But I was wondering why does pip needs to write there? How can I fix this?
I ran brew doctor
which gives
Your system is ready to brew.
So I think it is OK.
I tried brew reinstall python and it gives an odd error:
==> Reinstalling python
Error: /usr/local/opt/python is not a valid keg
which python gives
/usr/local/bin/python
So where in system has this weird thing that let pip fail
Update:
It looks my pip is pointing to system python rather than brewed python.
I changed the first line of pip to
#!/usr/local/bin/python
and problem is solved
You may need to brew link python, or unlink then link to get things pointing to the correct places.

I am trying to pip install pandas on a mac. I have python 3.6 installed.
When I pip install in the terminal I get the following error:

Could you possibly edit the error into a formatted code block by highlighting it and pushing ctrl+k so it is easier to read? Thanks.
Edit: Also, I just looked through and at the bottom it says permission denied. Try rerunning the command as an admin. I.E try this command:
sudo pip install pandas
You might have already noticed, Mac come with a built in Python, python 2.7. If you read your traceback: /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/pip-9.0.1-py2.7.egg/pip/basecommand.py it's pointing to the 2.7 dir. this dir is in the Library folder so you don't have permission to install to it.
But you state that you have Python 3.6 installed as well, so if you wanted to install to that indtead. Do pip3 install pandas or python3 -m pip install pandas this help specify the python version. And if you want to run python 3.6 in terminal, type python3 instead of just python

OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ''
I am only using sudo because without sudo, I get a IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/lib/python2.7/site-packages/nose/__init__.py'. Here is what I get for which Python and pip is being used, which I think are both what I want them to be:
$ which python
/usr/local/bin/python
$ which pip
/usr/local/bin/pip
This is a separate issue, but I wonder if it's related: I also get this error while trying to create a virtualenv: IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/lib/python2.7/site-packages/easy_install.py'
I recently upgraded to El Capitan, and it seems like there were some permissions changes that may have caused it to suddenly not work even though it has been working for a while. (Although I'll admit I'm not super experienced here, so I could be doing something very obviously wrong.) I just have no idea how to even decipher this error, and obviously I don't want to do any chmod or chown on system files unless I absolutely know it will solve my problem. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
I'm fairly new to python so please bear with me. I installed the virtual env created a new environment and everything very smooth(great). so when I try to pip freeze it gives me all the global packages that are installed and not only the environment im in. Then I try to install django and it does not let me. This is the error that gives me...

OK. I got it working. The problem was something with a cache directory. When I reinstalled virtualenv I used a flag plus sudo.
sudo pip install --no-cache-dir virtualenv
but new questions comes up.
How important is a cache directory for the environments?
Do I need one yes o no?
Thanks all for your awesome help.
On my OSX 10.10.2, in a virtualenv, I tried to install Django via pip using the command:

I guess the issue is caused as I did not prefix sudo to the command. But I read that it was a good idea to use sudo in OSX. And that is why virtualenv is encouraged as sudo is not needed inside it.Here is a screenshot of my files as I could not find the "env" in the bin folder.
Looks like you forgot to activate your venv.
Try:
source path_to_your_venv/bin/activate
pip install django
I am trying to install packages using PIP but it doesn't work for me initially it gives the permission denied error and after that when I tried to use easy_install it gives me this error :->

$which pip result is
~/bin/pip
Just add the --user option to your pip command, it will install with your logged in user permissions:
pip2.7 install mezzanine --user
as Daniel Roseman noted - the syntax error came from using Python2.4
the permission problem is caused by trying to install into system Python, what requires sudo or being root
Possible solutions
Install into system Pyhton (using sudo)
$ sudo pip install mezzanine
This will spoil the system Python and is not much recommended. It would be well acceptable if you are e.g. under Docker.
Install into user profile
$ pip install --user mezzanine
It will install the package into user scheme and will not spoil system Python.
This is more acceptable, but can soon become messy environment to run code in, as Python will import form user scheme, sometime from system.
Use virtualenv
Assuming you have virtualenv installed:
$ cd ~/projects
$ mkdir mezza
$ cd mezza
$ virtualenv venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
(venv)$ pip install mezzanine
$ pip freeze
mezzanine==3.1.8
(there will be a bit more lines from freeze).
This installs into virtualenv, which is easy to recreate, destroy, and does not mess up with other environments.
With virtulanevwrapper you will get set of additional tools, which will simplify your environment a lot.
