I am trying to install pip for python on CentOS 6. I thought of installing it through easy_install but it is not there. I tried to find easy_install with find command, but no luck. I tried to re-install python with yum and still not able to find easy_install.

In some distribution easy_install not come with the default python.

So, you to download it and install. 

#wget http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py
#python ez_setup.py

After installing the ez_setup.py, you can find the easy_install, using that you can install pip module as follow.

#easy_install pip

Both setuptools (python-setuptools) and pip (python-pip) are in EPEL.
