How can I install GDAL in Ubuntu 16,04 with python 2.7.12 using pip?

I am trying to import some specific libraries using python. it should be easy like importing numpy for example like so:
import osgeo.gdal, gdal
from osgeo.gdalconst import *
But it seemed to me like the packages gdal and osgeo are missing so I went to the project interpreter to add these packages, Sadly i did not find the package osgeo and the package gdal could not be installed ... I looked it up in the net but it seems that there is no exact way to solve the matter.
I am using Ubuntu 16,04 with python 2.7.12 and PS GDAL is Geospatial Data Abstraction Library
This the error message that I am getting:
Collecting gdal

You are using pip version 7.1.0, however version 9.0.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.

Finally I found a solution to my problem.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gdal-bin
sudo apt-get -y install python-gdal
Thank you all for the contribution.

Fipy nominally installed but fipy.test() fails with error messages

I'm attempting to get FiPy set up using Miniconda 2 on a Windows 7 system, and got to the point of running the test suite with the recommended python -c "import fipy; fipy.test()".
Unfortunately rather than getting test results, the suite gave me an error with stack trace:

Can anyone help me get this to work? I don't know where to start with this outcome.

Just wanted to add for those who (like me) are new to git and conda - to install the FiPy from develop branch you should (following this answer):
Activate your conda environment: source activate myenv (or activate
myenv for windows)
Install git and pip: conda install git pip
Install FiPy: pip install git+git://github.com/usnistgov/fipy#develop

Where do I find the 'Structure' module?
Anyone having the same issue?
I have followed the instructions on: https://github.com/pybrain/pybrain/wiki/installation.
what am I missing?

The Pybrain can be setup by pip install pybrain directly.
The FNN in pybrain have a bit problem of convergence and performance. As substitution, there are lots of advices on Python for AI, such as FANN (An example) and scikit-learn (for lots of ML method but not contains FNN directly).

Try not to use pip. I always prefer getting the entire folder from PyPI or github (if available) and then doing the simple python setup.py install.
Also, whenever you do some work with the packages which are under active development (or not very commonly use), please read their documentation.
If you see the documentation : Here. You will see that they use Python 2.x.
And you are clearly using Python 3.x.
Get Python 2.x and download the folder from github. Unzip it and install.
Hope it helps.
Cheers.

Try following queries:
pip install numpy
pip install scipy
pip install pybrain
OR:
download ez_setup.py and run it:
python ez_setup.py
OR:
use easy_install:
easy_install pybrain

What do I do to get it installed?
I can execute the Sikuli script from a Python Script but I want to have this installed in Python so that I can use it from within Python by using:
from sikuli import *

Sikuli is not available in CPython (my assumption of what you mean by 'Python'). This would have to be installed 'in' Jython and is still interpreter dependent. I don't use the sikuli IDE because it has no IDE features, but then you run into an issue where Sikuli cannot be run in all IDE's. The IDE must be able to load the .jar correctly. Try Eclipse: http://doc.sikuli.org/faq/040-other-ide.html. My Eclipse project is set up following these directions and I can simply run-as Jython and the script will execute the Sikuli part of the script as expected.

There is no python package available for standalone Sikuli.
Are you trying to install Python-Sikuli-Client as the only sikuli package available at below location
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-sikuli-client
SikuliX-1.1.0 is latest Sikuli installation available. It comes in executable jars format and you need JRE 1.6 or higher installed on your system to install SikuliX. It has it's own IDE or you can use Jython as interpreter to compile and run your python scripts written for Sikuli in IDEs like Eclipse with PyDev plugin.
Sikuli script is older version for Sikuli and again it is JAVA jar executable file and needs JRE to run and install it.

For sikuli module installation, you should satisfy the jnius module dependency. jnius installation failed for me, so I built it from sources and installed manually.
After jnius installation, you are free to install sikuli via pip. Before using sikuli, you also need to do the following things:
Add path to JRE jvm.dll to the PATH environment variable, e.g.:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_101\bin\client"
Increase JVM heap:
set _JAVA_OPTIONS=-Xmx512M (in Windows)

$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.
