Pip install python modules easy

I am looking for an easy way to install/uninstall Python modules and found pip. Where does pip install to? I installed as an example "linkify" and it supposed to work but I didnt find it in the sitepackages. With videodownloa开发者_如何转开发der I had a permission denied issue at usr/local/bin. So I lost my hopes again to find something easy. Is there a python modules installation for dummies.

Setuptools, http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools includes the EasyInstall tool.

Check out http://packages.python.org/distribute/easy_install.html#downloading-and-installing-a-package to see how to use it.

Once you get that installed it should be ... easy.
