Python 2.7 crashing when installing requests module on Mac

Question

$ ./easy_install --index-url=http://pypiserver.test.net:8081/simple requests

Segmentation fault: 11

UPDATE: I think it the way I built Python as if I just downloaded the python2.7.6 built version, requests module installed fine. I do need to build python though as that is part of our release process.

Answer 1

I run

pip install requests

that works fine:

$ pip install requests
Downloading/unpacking requests
  Downloading requests-2.2.1.tar.gz (421kB): 421kB downloaded
  Running setup.py egg_info for package requests

Installing collected packages: requests
  Running setup.py install for requests

Successfully installed requests
