I installed Python 2.7 on my Mac. When typing "python" in terminal, it shows:

$ python
Python 2.7 (r27:82508, Jul  3 2010, 20:17:05) 
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5493)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

The Python version is correct here.

But when I try to easy_install some modules. The system will install the modules with python version 2.6 which are not able be imported to Python 2.7. And of course I can not do the functions I need in my code. Here's an example of easy_install graphy:

$ easy_install graphy

Adding Graphy 1.0.0 to easy-install.pth file

Installed /Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/Graphy-1.0.0-py2.6.egg
Processing dependencies for graphy

Finished processing dependencies for graphy

So it installs graphy for Python 2.6.

Can someone help me with it? I just want to set my default easy_install Python version to 2.7.
