broke my python easy_install how to fix?
easy_install is part of setuptools. There's a handy script to bootstrap it:

curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/ez_setup.py -o - | python


You may need to put sudo before python if it throws a permissions error. There's a few more details here: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools#installation-instructions but that one-liner should do the trick in most cases.
