New installation process fails with existing pip install

[GoogleCodeExporter]

pinax-boot.sh calls pinax-env/bin/pip without verifying that it exists. If 
you're on a system which 
already has pip installed, that file won't exist because the installer returns 
successfully if pip exists 
anywhere in the system path.

I used pinax-boot.sh --no-site-packages to work around this but this situation 
should be handled 
more gracefully - adding --always-copy to the easy_install line in 
pinax-boot.sh solves that 
problem but probably needs a >=0.3 to avoid breaking on git / hg URLs.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Mac OS X 10.5 using the system Python 2.5
