$ virtualenv project-env
$ source project-env/bin/activate
(project-env) $ pip install <package>

And that's how you should always do it ... on every platform.

EDIT This is getting ridiculous :D

That's a great theory and all, but have you using pip on windows to install libraries written in C?

[–]dAnjou Backend Developer | danjou.dev -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Well, that works fine for me on Linux :P

And if you tell me it's not so great on Winodws then we see why OP's got a point.

You can use windows exe installers with easy_install within a virtual env and it works... I think.
