I recently started exploring python and immediately ran into the following issue:
$ pip install requests
-bash: pip: command not found


A quick google search yielded this result. So basically on MacOS you have Python preinstalled along with easy_install command. So the following command installs pip:

$ sudo easy_install pip
Searching for pip
Reading https://pypi.python.org/simple/pip/
Best match: pip 9.0.1

A quick and handy solution indeed!
