I don't think that's a helpful solution.  The last thing I want to see on 
another colleague's machine is Python installations from EPD, macports, 
homebrew, etc. all mixed together on the same machine.  People have valid uses 
to be using whatever Python distribution for OSX they're using.

That said, EPD has issues with pip ever since the upgrade to require ssl. 
Instead you can just download the source tarball yourself and install it like so:

$ curl -O http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/a/astropy/astropy-0.2.1.tar.gz
$ pip install astropy-0.2.1.tar.gz
