[Python-modules-team] Bug#692108: python-pip: --ignore-installed option is ignored

[Ariel]

python-pip (Debian package) is totally useless as it is: the only reasson i'd 
like to have an extra (Python-)package installer is because I'd like to be 
able to install Python "packages" from the official Python package repository 
(mainly) _AS A USER_, because they are NOT vailable as a Debian package.

So i do NOT want to run pip as root, as it would fundamentally mess up my DPKG 
setup (it tries to remove/overwrite system files: e.g.
OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/bin/easy_install' )

So BOTH  "--user" and a working "--ignore-installed" options (BTW, both 
undocumented in the man page!!) should be the default in Debian.
