title: PIP install and Python path
body: <p>I am using pip install on a mac to get my python requirements for a django website.</p>
  
  <p>I got pip from MacPorts </p>
  
  <pre><code>port install pip-2.7
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now the problem is the pip installs the packages in a location which is not in my python sys.path.</p>
  
  <p>I just copied this bogus location                 </p>
  
  <pre><code>/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/) 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>to a location present in my sys.path </p>
  
  <pre><code>/Library/Python/2.7/)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Of course this worked ok, but I will use pip in the future so I need a persistent solution.</p>
  
  <p>The question is how can I alter my sys.path to recognize that crap location or how do I tell pip to install dependencies somewhere else ?</p>
