[Baypiggies] geospatial software architect job opening involves python and django

[Benjamin Sergeant]

post baypiggies morning are always great for toying around. I'm writting a
.sln (Microsoft visual studio solution file) parser using python-ply, and
wanted to work on it on my Mac that doesn't have python-ply installed.

So I thought I'd give pip and virtualenv a try to local install ply with
ease and not polute my global site-packages folder. And that was easy
indeed.

$ sudo easy_install pip # virtualenv was already installed, think you
install it the same way

$ cd my/project
