For the record, this is now fixed in pip's "develop" branch and should be in the next release. For commands like 'setup.py install', pip now displays a spinner that ticks over whenever the underlying process prints to stdout/stderr. So if the underlying process hangs, then the spinner will stop (it's not just lying to you), but normally it works nicely. https://github.com/pypa/pip/pull/3224 -n -- Nathaniel J.
