After few hrs I decided to remove python from my mac
I installed python again following this instructions:
http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/starting/install/osx/#install-osx
(i a nut shell I installed python 2.7 using HomeBrew)
from the shell:
$python
Python 2.7.8 (default, Oct 19 2014, 16:02:00)
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 6.0 (clang-600.0.54)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
from the shell:
$ which python
/usr/local/bin/python
from the shell:
$ which -a python
/usr/local/bin/python
/usr/local/bin/python
I installed pip
I installed few pkgs using $ pip install command

additional info:
meanwhile I tried to do same thing else to fix the problem
(I didn't fix it)
Basically I installed virtualenv
I created a basic virtual env
I have a new folder with python and all the pkgs
(venv_002)danielepemys-MacBook-Pro:my_python_virtualenv danielepemy$ which python
/Users/danielepemy/my_python_virtualenv/venv_002/bin/python
everything looks fine, python works, pip works the pkgs are listed in the virtual env
(venv_002)danielepemys-MacBook-Pro:my_python_virtualenv danielepemy$ pip list
pip (1.5.6)
setuptools (3.6)
wsgiref (0.1.2)
XlsxWriter (0.6.4)
when I run a simple test script with XlsxWriter I get:
python ..//internet_speed_test_002.py
Traceback (most recent call last):

Answer 1

Do you have any files called time.py or time.pyc in your current directory? If so, rename or delete them (.pyc files can simply be deleted).
