Got error during the phase of Building ROS Base on Mac

I tried to install ros groovy on OS 10.8, everything was fine until i run wstool init -j8 ~/groovyunderlay http://packages.ros.org/web/rosinstall/generate/raw/groovy/roscomm

And got the error: ERROR: Cannot find required rosinstall library version, check your installation (also of vcstools) is up-to-date. One frequent cause is that rosinstall 0.5 is still installed in /usr/local/lib. No module named wstool.wstool_cli

and i have check the version of rosinstall i got, it is 0.6.29

Anyone can kindly help?

What happens if you do this: python -c "import rosinstall; print rosinstall.__version__"?

Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in ImportError: No module named rosinstall

Then you do not have rosinstall installed, have you done sudo pip install -U rosinstall?

Sorry that should be python -c "from rosinstall.__version__ import version; print version", but still it looks like your default Python instance cannot find rosinstall.
