The directory '/Users/tonylibai/Library/Caches/pip/http' or its parent directory is not owned by the current user and the cache has been disabled. Please check the permissions and owner of that directory. If executing pip with sudo, you may want sudo's -H flag.
DEPRECATION: Uninstalling a distutils installed project (numpy) has been deprecated and will be removed in a future version. This is due to the fact that uninstalling a distutils project will only partially uninstall the project.
Uninstalling numpy-1.8.0rc1:

The error message has made itself very clear: Operation not permitted. That is you DO NOT have the permission to finish this work.

[jinpengchina]

[myd7349]

The error message has already guide you the way:

The directory '/Users/tonylibai/Library/Caches/pip/http' or its parent directory is not owned by the current user and the cache has been disabled. Please check the permissions and owner of that directory. If executing pip with sudo, you may want sudo's -H flag.

Why not read the error message carefully?
