pip is a pain in the penis
== Basic PIP ==
pip is a fast-moving target and the packaged versions in Debian or Ubuntu are old and buggy. So, you should get pip from upstream.
* Installing a package is as simple as <code>sudo pip install foo</code>
* Upgrades are <code>sudo pip install --upgrade foo</code>
* <code>sudo pip uninstall foo</code> if you want to remove foo<ref>but you might have to resort to brute force like <code>sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/dopy*</code> since old pip is buggy. Or try without sudo. Or just upgrade pip</ref> {{References}}
