People that make projects using pip need to explain how to install pip. It doesn't come with Mac or Ubuntu by default. I know what the package is for Ubuntu but Mac, I have no idea. EDIT: after 5 minutes of Googling since "PIP" is a common acronym that stands for a bunch of things, you can install it on Mac via `easy_install` which comes on it by default. `sudo easy_install pip`

For what it's worth, the pip website does explain that you can install pip with easy_install.

  Actually, it took me about 30 minutes to find how to install onto 64-bit Windows. You need to first install Python, then run the following: http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py Then you use easy install to install pip. That's how I got it working, but I'm a complete Python newbie!

    For future reference, http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ contains tons of Python packages (including pip!) with nice installers for various Python versions.
