Description: Python Install Magic Package
        ============================
        
        Python packaging is complicated and often clashes with distro package managers.
        To make things worse, now there's ``pimp``. It uses `pip
        <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pip>`_ and `distutils
        http://docs.python.org/2/library/distutils.html`_ to download packages from
        PyPI and build RPMs out of them, which it installs using the system's package
        management.
        
        Requirements and Installation
        -----------------------------
        
        Every self-respecting ``pimp`` needs a `Fedora <http://fedoraproject.org/>`_
        (purple color recommended), no other distributions have even been remotely
        tested. To install ``pimp``, first install pip using ``yum`` and
        ``virtualenv``::
        
          yum install python-pip virtualenv
        
        After that, we'll bootstrap ``pimp`` with itself::
        
          TMPDIR=`mktemp -d` && virtualenv --distribute $TMPDIR && $TMPDIR/bin/pip install pimp && $TMPDIR/bin/pimp --python /usr/bin/python install pimp && rm -rf $TMPDIR
        
        This will create temporary directory and a new virtual environment in it,
        install ``pimp`` from github, use ``pimp`` to package itself, install that
        package and remove the temporary directory.
        
        Other useful things
        -------------------
        
        ``pimp`` sets the release-version of every package it creates to ``pimp``. This
        means that you can list all packages installed by it using::
        
          rpm -qa release="pimp"
        
        Uninstalling all these is just as simple::
        
          sudo rpm -ve `rpm -qa release="pimp"`
