...and most importantly:

4) The path to easy_install may not get added to your PATH environment
variable, so using the full path to easy_install might be necessary
when issuing the easy_install command.  If you get an error that says:

easy_install: command not found

then you will need to use the full path to easy_install.  Some
installs will put easy_install here:

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/
Versions/2.6/bin/easy_install

Others will put it here:

....

If can't locate easy_install in any of those directories, you can
locate easy_install using the find command:

find / -name easy_install
