> Having sat with people recently watching them install climate, it has become obvious that the default behavior for the easy_install scripts should be invoking the -e flag.
> The script specifically say
> {code}
> It is recommended that you pass -e when running this script. If you don't, parts
> of this installation will pollute your global Python install. If you're unsure,
> pass -e just to be safe!
> {code}
> A user never sees this message though unless they know that
>  * there is a -h flag to print it
>  * it is too late and that they have already messed up their environment!
