Is there a definitive guide for how to install Homebrew's Python properly, along with pip, virtualenv, virtualenvwrapper etc.?
I've read the following pages:

I have OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) DP3, and I installed the XCode Command Line Tools.
I also installed XQuartz as well, just in case (10.8 doesn't provide it).
I then ran:
brew install python --universal --framework
I added the following to my ~/.bash_profile
:
export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/share/python:${PATH}"
I then ran:
sudo easy_install pip
which seemed to work.
I check where pip's installed:
Victors-MacBook-Pro:~ victorhooi$ which pip
/usr/local/bin/pip
However, when I try to pip install packages, I get an error complaining about not being able to write to /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages:
running install_lib
creating /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/yolk
error: could not create '/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/yolk': Permission denied
----------------------------------------
Command /usr/bin/python -c "import setuptools;__file__='/Users/victorhooi/build/yolk/setup.py';exec(compile(open(__file__).read().replace('\r\n', '\n'), __file__, 'exec'))" install --single-version-externally-managed --record /var/folders/gg/m37t1rkx4zj7z54ls487jfc40000gn/T/pip-ap7LSB-record/install-record.txt failed with error code 1 in /Users/victorhooi/build/yolk
Storing complete log in /Users/victorhooi/Library/Logs/pip.log
My understanding was that Homebrew's Python would install into it's own site-packages, and I wouldn't need to do weird chown's all over the filesystem tree to get things to work?
Cheers, Victor
