Actually, I don't know hardly anything about pip.  All I know is that
unless you are *very* careful how you name your tarballs, it will gladly
install the wrong thing because of its agressive version searching
algorithm that is almost impossible for package maintainers to control.  I
think its done this for SymPy on at least three separate occasions now,
with three separate issues.
