I think the first error is actually a permission problem with pip trying to write to its log file (which indicates a second error). I bet the first time you ran pip and it created a log you where using sudo, check the permissions of your .pip directory and the files inside, they are probably owned by root, change em back to your normal user account, and the pip error will go away.
The actual problem, as you said is that the setup.py for the package is a little dodgy, and always trys to copy some test files under /usr. You pretty much have to fix that by hand, download the source for the ssl module from http://pypi.python.org/pypi/ssl/1.15#downloads edit the setup.py and comment out these lines (its just stuff for running test on the package, so you dont really need it) #data_files=[(testdir, ['test/test_ssl.py', # 'test/keycert.pem', # 'test/badcert.pem', # 'test/badkey.pem', # 'test/nullcert.pem'])], Then run python setup.py install (after source bin/activate of course) and you should be ok.
