Looking at the easy_install on my system it uses python26
head -1 /usr/bin/easy_install
#!/usr/bin/python2.6

so if you use easy_install you probably just installed it to the 2.6 stuff.

If you need 2.7 for your stuff then you'll definitely want to get virtualenv
working. If you can live with 2.6 then get rid of 2.7 on your machine
and work with the yum packages.

A better virtualenvwrapper setup doc is here (not from 2009)
