You are getting something like:
Command python setup.py egg_info failed with error code 1 in 
/tmp/pip-build-T3JieI/bioread
Storing debug log for failure in /home/lac/.pip/pip.log

when you run pip, correct?

So you go read the package documentation and discover that bioread
uses easy_install (which you are beginning to learn to hate) instead of pip.

So then you try that and you get crud like this:
....
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/setuptools/sandbox.py", line 43, in 
_execfile
      exec(code, globals, locals)
        File "/tmp/easy_install-PGpger/bioread-0.9.5/setup.py", line 3, in 
<module>
        ImportError: No module named ez_setup

Correct?

If this is your problem, go install this package:

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ez_setup

And then install bioread, still with easy_install 

If this isn't your problem,
write back with more of what is not working, please.

Hope this is it :)
Laura
