"brew install pip" now only works with a Homebrew-provided Python, and installs
directly into that Python's cellar.
This brew, by design, will only install against a Homebrew-built
version of Python, with instructions for installing
distribute against a custom Python.
As discussed on IRC this simplifies the Python
packaging strategy of Homebrew. It's a modified
version of the hints given on http://bit.ly/HomebrewPython
and renders them unnecessary.
setuptools and pip will be installed separately
from Python's site-packages (e.g.
"#{prefix}/lib/pip") but will install other
packages in the Python's site-packages directory
and *not* inside their own directories.
In case the Python brew is removed or unlinked
all packages installed with pip will be removed
or unlinked, too. When using the non-framework
install of Python (e.g. not the OS X' default)
these restrictions also apply in case of the
installation of a new version of Python.
