Install

-------

    $ brew install brew-pip

Usage

-----

    brew pip mercurial        # install the latest mercurial package

    brew pip django==1.2      # install django-1.2

    brew pip ~/tox-1.3.tar.gz # can install local packages, too

    brew pip -u django==1.3.1 # upgrade to django-1.3.1

    brew pip -k ipython       # install ipython, but don't link it (i.e., keg-only)

    brew rm django            # uninstallation taken care of by homebrew itself

    brew pip -h               # for help

Setup

-----

So python can load your installed libraries, you need to update your `PYTHONPATH`:

    export PYTHONPATH=$(brew --prefix)/lib/python2.7/site-packages

And for any scripts to be found, you need to update your `PATH`:

    export PATH=$PATH:$(brew --prefix)/share/python

But doesn't everybody use virtualenv now?

-----------------------------------------

Why, yes, they do.  But that doesn't mean global installations are

totally useless.  What if you want to use a package *without* being

active in a virtualenv -- like say ipython?

With `brew pip` you can globally install a select few packages while

relying on virtualenv for everything else.

It's the best of both worlds.
