I've had some weird issues with my python install recently but I've usually been able to get it working. However I'm running into a really bizarre issue right now where pip is installing things that disappear. Trying to run through this blog post.
In the terminal:
pip install markdown
Everything installs correctly.
python -m markdown testing.md > output.html
It pops out the following error /usr/bin/python: No module named markdown
which seems bizarre, since I'm running exactly what the tutorial is telling me. Then when I write python markdown
When I go to run the command pip install
again it spits out the following:
$ pip install markdown
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): markdown in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/lib/python3.4/site-packages
Any tips on how to troubleshoot this?

I think your copy of Python 3 is not using the executable name "python". Try "python3 -m markdown" and see if that works. If it does, you can symlink python to python3, or just execute python3 when tutorials ask you to run python.
