I assume you've either worked this out or given up by now, but in any case... > Does pip install the same as apt-get; I don't think so.

The general rule is: if it's a Python package (such as Django) use pip; if it's not (such as MySQL) use apt-get. Secondly, there is little if any need to install Python packages outside a virtualenv. It's almost always more convenient to have them in a virtualenv, rather than system-wide. > I also need git which just confuses > the situation even more.
