我前段时间在OSX上安装了python科学环境（numpy，scipy，matplotlib，pandas，ipython）使用brew和pip或easy_install（或者其中2个，我不记得了）。现在，如果尝试运行ipython，我得到：
-> ipython
-bash: ipython: command not found
然后我做了：
-> sudo find . -iname "*ipython*"

我很惊讶没有看到任何/ bin目录。
然后我尝试重新安装ipython
-> pip install ipython
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): ipython in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages
Cleaning up...
这真令人困惑。任何想法都是受欢迎的。

在.pydistutils.cfg以下内容
$HOME
[global]
verbose=1
[install]
install-scripts=$HOME/bin
[easy_install]
install-scripts=$HOME/bin
运行
pip install -U --user --force ipython

解决方法（至少对于ipython）是将这些行添加到~/.pydistutils.cfg：
[install]
install-data=/usr/local
install-scripts=/usr/local/bin
