Having difficulty installing Google Python API into newer Python

I'm trying to set up the Python Google API on my system; I have both Python 2.6 and 2.7 installed; 2.7 is the version I use. Howver, the installer installs itself into my old Python (2.6) and I get library not found errors when I try to use it on 2.7.

Has anybody had any success installing the Google API into a specific version of Python?

Thanks!

Generally to install a package you either download it and run python setup.py install or use easy_install/pip. You can use which python to verify you are running the installer with the proper version of Python. There is a good chance you are simply installing it with 2.6, thus it never gets installed for 2.7. If you are trying to use system packages to install this package, it might be easier to just download it yourself and run python setup.py install with the proper python executable.
