Ned,

Thank you! Belatedly. I’ve had some fires to put out at work. And have gotten back to this, and this is exactly what I was looking for. I added the additional step of:

cd /usr/local/bin
ln -s ../../../Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.3/bin/pip pip 

Works, like a charm.

(aside. I do not use GoogleGroups, but have been accused of somehow sending email that looks like I do. Does this email look like that?)
