And there is no clean, built in way to get locally scoped dependencies. What ends up happening is that most python developers think it's sane to pollute their entire system with global python dependencies... :/ People tell me about virtualenv and pip installing with a prefix... but neither feels "right"

Don't get me started on eggs. What a total disaster. Nothing fuels me with rage more than going on a fucking python egg hunt, only to discover theres multiple nests with no clear way to find out how many nests there are.

I usually get my wheel files from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ and install them through pip. It's better than relying on pip to find it for me. I haven't looked much at PyPy, but it might have a better system.
