The only time I use the OS package manager to install a Python library is if some other application requires it as a dependency. If you're not making the distinction between your system install of Python and your development install, you're really inviting a whole world of pain and confusion on yourself. With that approach in mind, I've never had any real issues using pip, virtualenv etc for managing my development environment. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
