I updated the wiki to reflect the sipie.py command. I forgot to update the
wiki code (I recycled it from the previous article). So yes, sipie.py is the
one you're looking for and it's been changed.

The convention of "# = root" and "$ = mythtv user" shows that the wiki is
correct on the easy_install part of the document, sorry it wasn't more
clear.
