Nifty, always nice to save a little time on future installs

  More importantly, it's nice to assume your users will have pip available no matter what (assuming we all move to Python 3. One day...)

    Python 3.4 seems it will be true to it's promise. See the other thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6581053 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6581053

    As someone maintaining packages on pypi, I can tell you that demand for Python 3 support is growing and people are beginning to port packages for their own needs. I expect we'll see python 3 overtake python 2 in new projects within 3 years. I realize that's still pretty far off, but these things take time. You have to give the PSF credit for great support of the 2.x series.

      As a recent convert to Python (but only as an enthusiast... still doing C++ in my dayjob), I chose to go all in and start out with Python 3. I'm glad I did, but I do need to keep version 2 around.
