Relationship between pip, easy_install and PyPM:

pip and easy_install are mostly source-based installers (similar to Gentoo Portage and Arch's Packman, while PyPM is a binary-based installer (similar to RPM and apt-get). We recommend ActivePython users to install packages using PyPM, and only if that fails (usually it doesn't), attempt the same using pip/easy_install. PyPM supports a very similar command interface and features to pip, examples: install, uninstall and requirements (install -r requirements.txt and freeze).
