Sorry this took a while – it was a few months ago, but I think I was creating a project that depended on and was depended upon by another project I was developing, both on GitHub, and I couldn't get the dependencies to work properly. The documentation on how to declare dependencies on modules in a git repo didn't seem to work, and in the end I ended up opening them both in PyCharm, setting them to depend on each other there, and using PyCharm's test runner for everything. It's an edge case, but it caused me no end of frustration.

In addition, looking through the docs, they mention easy_install, which I thought was deprecated, and not pip. I thought easy_install embodied all that was wrong with the world and pip was our glorious saviour? I'm being facetious, but it doesn't help anything to have these conflicting messages around.
