title: Python: PIP install path, what is the correct location for this and other addons?
body: <p>I have recently had a few problems with my Python installation and as a result I have just reinstalled python and am trying to get all my addons working correctly as well. I’m going to look at virtualenv after to see if I can prevent this from happening again. </p>
  
  <p>When I type <code>which python</code> into terminal I now get </p>
  
  <pre><code>/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I understand this to be the correct location and now want to get all the rest of my addons installed correctly as well. </p>
  
  <p>However after installing pip via <code>sudo easy_install pip</code> and type <code>which pip</code> i get</p>
  
  <pre><code>/usr/local/bin/pip
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is this correct? I would have thought it should reflect the below</p>
  
  <pre><code>/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>There is a folder in here called pip-1.4-py2.7.egg which was not there prior to instillation but the above path does not give me any confidence.</p>
  
  <p>Where should pip and my other addons such as Distribute, Flask and Boto be installed if I want to set this up correctly?</p>
