just try starting python with `/usr/bin/python` and importing again — Padraic Cunningham, Aug 03 '14 at 17:34

You have two python installs, your pip is pointing to /usr/bin so and your default python is in /usr/local/bin.

You can remove the /usr/bin/pip and install pip get-pip.py, which will use your now default /usr/local/bin/python.

It would probably be best to remove one of the python installs and set your paths accordingly. Just be careful when removing python, it can be detrimental to your system if you mess up your python install.
