Python版本升级
CentOS 6.3自带的Python版本为2.6，首先需要升级到2.7版本。由于旧版本的Python已被深度依赖，所以不能卸载原有的Python，只能全新安装。
1.下载Python-2.7.4.tgz
wget http://python.org/ftp/python/2.7.4/Python-2.7.4.tgz
2. 解压安装，命令如下:
1 tar -xvf Python-2.7.4.tgz 2 cd Python-2.7.4 3 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/python2.7 4 make 5 make install
3. 创建链接来使系统默认python变为python2.7
ln -s /usr/local/python2.7/bin/python2.7 /usr/bin/python
4. 查看Python版本
python –V
5. 修改yum配置（否则yum无法正常运行）
vim /usr/bin/yum 将第一行的#!/usr/bin/python修改为系统原有的python版本地址#!/usr/bin/python2.6
至此CentOS6.3系统Python已成功升级至2.7.4版本
安装pip
Pip是一个安装和管理python包的工具。
安装方法如下：
1. 下载pip，地址https://raw.github.com/pypa/pip/master/contrib/get-pip.py
2. 执行安装命令
python get-pip.py
3. 创建连接（否则会报错提示“命令不存在”）
ln -s /usr/local/python2.7/bin/pip /usr/bin/pip
测试:
pip install redis
Collecting redis

至此pip安装完成!
如果安装pip时报如下错误：ImportError: cannot import name HTTPSHandle
执行 yum install sqlite-devel
