Strongly agree. Only use easy_install to install pip and forget it from there.
Or just use Pete's plan :-)

Step 0: use distribute instead of setuptools (basically a fork with
fixes - setuptools maintainer is... yeah).

Dunno what's up with your particular install - I moved from macports to
fink about a year ago...

While we're on the subject of shells, IPython fans might like
bpython. Autocompletion, highlighting, inline help (docstring
display), logging... and that's more or less it. Much simpler
than IPython (which does a *lot* of other things, including
distributed computing).

Bpython: It's the shell I always wished IPython would be.
Pete - thanks for this link - you'll never know the journey you
enabled :-)
Got the latest macports for macosx from http://www.macports.org/
Upgraded to python3.1 ( learning a bit about the changes between
python2.7 and 3.1 )
Investigated system tools "otool -L", "dtrace",
Learned about Pygments ( syntax highlighting package written in Python )
Got so much useful information from Wikipedia that I send in a
contribution of gratitude ...
Downloaded and installed Colloguy where I found the helpful folks on
#bpython on irc.freenode.net <http://irc.freenode.net/>
Learned about and started using pastebin for the first time
( http://bpaste.net/ )
( found useful information on "Easy Install"
http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall
and Python Eggs http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/PythonEggs )
But if anyone has some ideas why bpython doesn't install itself (or a
link) in a place
where it can be found in a reasonable path like python does - I'd sure
like to know.
