Just a reminder that pip can *not* install binary eggs. You'll have to use easy_install for those. It's about the only easy_install feature pip doesn't have. (On the other hand, pip has features easy_install doesn't, like "uninstall", "requirements", "freeze", etc.) So, the new hotness is Pip for almost everything, but easy_install for Windows binary eggs. -- Mike Orr <[email protected]>
