目前大部分用户使用的CentOS6.5上默认的Python还是2.6版本，并且还不能卸载python2.6,很多系统组建需要依赖与python2.6，所以升级到python2.7会有点麻烦，在这里记录一下。
1、在安装python之前还需要安装一些依赖组件
安装过程将用到gcc库，我们可以直接安装
yum install Development Tools
另外还需要一些额外的依赖包
yum install zlib-devel bzip2-devel openssl-devel ncurses-devel sqlite-devel
2、下载安装python2.7
可以直接从python官网上下载python， https://www.python.org/ftp/python/
选择你需要下载的版本，我这里下载2.7.11的最新版本
wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.11/Python-2.7.11.tgz
tar vxf Python-2.7.11.tgz
cd Python-2.7.11.tgz
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make && make install
编译安装完成之后查看python的版本
>>> import sys
>>> sys.version
'2.7.11 (default, May 6 2016, 01:38:00) \n[GCC 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-16)]'
pip是python的安装工具，很多python的常用工具，都可以通过pip进行安装。
要安装pip，首先要安装setuptools。下面的链接可以得到相关信息，最新版本是21.0.0:
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools
下载链接：
https://pypi.python.org/packages/ff/d4/209f4939c49e31f5524fa0027bf1c8ec3107abaf7c61fdaad704a648c281/setuptools-21.0.0.tar.gz#md5=81964fdb89534118707742e6d1a1ddb4
同样的，进行安装：
tar vxf setuptools-21.0.0.tar.gz
cd setuptools-21.0.0
python setup.py install
安装完成后，下载pip。其信息在如下网站：
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pip
最新版是9.0.1，下载链接： https://pypi.python.org/packages/11/b6/abcb525026a4be042b486df43905d6893fb04f05aac21c32c638e939e447/pip-9.0.1.tar.gz.asc
同样的，进行安装
tar vxf pip-9.0.1.tar.gz安装完成后，运行pip
cd pip-9.0.1
python setup.py install
