I haven't used them. Seems easy_install is dead. Ubuntu ships easy_install inside package python-setuptools which is actually distribute: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/distribute

Pip is http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/
Installing it needs distribute or setuptools.

So there are python-pkg-resources_0.6.24-1-maemo1_all.deb and python-setuptools_0.6.24-1-maemo1_all.deb (from Ubuntu) made against optified python2.7. Install python2.7 and then these both. Use

Code:

sudo gainroot
/opt/python27/bin/easy_install

-> report what happens and where it downloads things (and will they work). I'm currently running totally out of rootfs and seems it at least needs some temporary space for downloads.
