Just to add some data points to this…

I initially use "easy_install pip", the version is 1.4, and build would complaint about that.

Afterwards, I was using the steps described in http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/installing.html#using-get-pip
(Thanks to Austin for the information).

$ curl -O https://raw.github.com/pypa/pip/master/contrib/get-pip.py
$ [sudo] python get-pip.py

And that's works in my environment.

Is it a specific version of pip? @tyu-grok<https://github.com/tyu-grok> mentioned yesterday that he installed pip on his MacBookPro, but the build complained that it was the wrong version of pip, so he had to reinstall. @oxtopus<https://github.com/oxtopus>, please check with @tyu-grok<https://github.com/tyu-grok> about the details.
