Avoid changing stuff on the system installed python.
If you don't have virtualenv already, I would suggest to either:

- install virtualenv by means of easy_install (which should be installed already)
- do everything else in a virtual env, instead of in the system installed python directly

Or install homebrew, then brew install python, and use that. This avoids using the
system installed python entirely.
