Install

$ brew install brew-pip

Usage

brew pip mercurial        # install the latest mercurial package
brew pip django==1.2      # install django-1.2
brew pip ~/tox-1.3.tar.gz # can install local packages, too
brew pip -u django==1.3.1 # upgrade to django-1.3.1
brew pip -k ipython       # install ipython, but don't link it (i.e., keg-only)
brew rm django            # uninstallation taken care of by homebrew itself
brew pip -h               # for help

Setup

So python can load your installed libraries, you need to update your PYTHONPATH:

export PYTHONPATH=$(brew --prefix)/lib/python2.7/site-packages

And for any scripts to be found, you need to update your PATH:

export PATH=$PATH:$(brew --prefix)/share/python

But doesn't everybody use virtualenv now?

Why, yes, they do. But that doesn't mean global installations are totally useless. What if you want to use a package without being active in a virtualenv -- like say ipython?

With brew pip you can globally install a select few packages while relying on virtualenv for everything else.

It's the best of both worlds.
