Install/use pip for specific version/location of python

For whatever lame reason, I have a bunch of different versions of python installed. The one I want to use (and what my current $PATH is using) is at /opt/python2.6/bin/python. How do I install 'pip' for this version so when I do a 'pip install package' it goes to the right location?

When you have multiple versions of Python with pip installed, you can launch pip using your Python executable:

$python2.6 -m pip [pip-args]

To install pip for a specific Python version, run get-pip.py (https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py) with the respective Python executable:

$python2.6 get-pip.py
