or
pip install foo
}}}
Maybe I am too new in the python packaging world, but
for my eyes calling easy_install looks deprecated.
My goal is to make the python world more friendly for newcomers.

Others may have a more informed opinion, but the only reason I know of
to use easy_install is if you are depending on packages that ship
compiled eggs for Windows. pip doesn't install eggs and many Windows
machines do not have developer tools setup.
