use less evil 'python setup.py easy_install' instead of 'easy_install'
Apparently,
easy_installis not equivalent withpython setup.py easy_install...When using
easy_install, Python package installations listed ineasy-install.pthfiles that are available through$PYTHONPATH(and probably also in~/.local) get preference over other installations in the Python search path, which can (and does) cause problems.One example where this is an issue is installing
vsc-base-2.4.1.ebon a system where an older version of vsc-base (<=v2.3) is available througheasy-install.pth.Using
python setup.py easy_install, these problems do not occur.
