As i said there, 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.
