found my way out (solution)

webfaction has a folder called webapps which contains the project within project there is a lib folder containing the python according the one you choose for installing django. there is another lib folder in home/username directory which contains older version of pythons also. if you run easy_install pip from there it will have problems. go inside the python2.7 folder within webapps/yourproject/lib/ and then run easy_install-2.7 pip . this solved the problem . then i could install mandrill using pip install mandrill

You have a Python version that is 10 years old and isn't supported anymore (2.4). The Mandrill package simply requires a more recent version of Python.

You probably should change hosts.
