Peter,

This wants to install a bunch of dev packages on my production machine.

selene$ sudo apt-get install python-pip

The following additional packages will be installed:
  build-essential dpkg-dev fakeroot g++ g++-5 libalgorithm-diff-perl
  libalgorithm-diff-xs-perl libalgorithm-merge-perl libexpat1-dev
  libfakeroot libpython-all-dev libpython-dev libpython2.7-dev
  libstdc++-5-dev python-all python-all-dev python-dev python-pip-whl
  python-setuptools python-wheel python2.7-dev
Suggested packages:
  debian-keyring g++-multilib g++-5-multilib gcc-5-doc libstdc++6-5-dbg
  libstdc++-5-doc python-setuptools-doc

Is there something being installed through pip that can't be gotten
from an existing package?
