-
-Pip is a replacement for `easy_install
-<http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall>`_.  It uses mostly the
-same techniques for finding packages, so packages that were made
-easy_installable should be pip-installable as well.
-
-pip is meant to improve on easy_install.bulletin boards, etc.).
