[TriLUG] Python help?

[Samir Faci via TriLUG]

For python 3.x I've started using this instead.

python -m pip install <foobar>

It avoids the is pip linking to the same thing as the python binary etc.  I
also second the #!/usr/bin/env python{2,3} it avoids weird BS behavior.

about the only thing you should directly reference in your #! is /bin/sh if
they move that around everything breaks.   Like *cough* freebsd *cough* who
decided to put bash in /usr/local/bin/bash instead /usr/bin/bash like every
sane person.

That being said, python has WAY too many damn ways to create a virtualenv,
scope into it and break things.  Good luck in your journey!
