Hello Elias,

I have not tried the scl command with quotes as you suggested.

In the meantime, by looking into the site:
https://pypi.python.org/simple/pip/,  I managed to down load the pip tar file:

https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/p/pip/pip-1.5.5.tar.gz#md5=7520581ba0687dec1ce85bd15496 37b

By untarring it, cd and invoke

/opt/rh/python27/root/usr/bin/python2.7 setup.py install

it did generate the pip and pip2 binaries into 

/opt/rh/python27/root/usr/bin.

Using your earlier  suggestions,
/opt/rh/python27/root/usr/bin/pip2.7 install numpy
/opt/rh/python27/root/usr/bin/pip2.7 install scipy
/opt/rh/python27/root/usr/bin/pip2.7 install matplotlib

are completed, though with lots of warnings which I don't understand.

The ssl issue remains, but at least I can move on to install the next package data Access library DAL.

Many thanks again.

Regards,
Peter

No, it's expecting the command to be quoted, which I had missed.

    scl enable python27 'easy_install numpy'

You can enable multiple things at once, so with the unquoted cmd it thinks easy_install is another thing to be enabled.

Still, that doesn't seem to be related to the problems you're having.
