Tell people to use pip. Having ensurepip in Python 2.7 and 3.4 makes it as official as anything will be as the recommended tool to install projects. Otherwise easyinstall has nothing to do directly with python-dev so I don't think we can comment on a group as to what people should do in terms of bugs, etc. Bug reports would go to the setuptools project, but I agree, "use pip" is a better suggestion. And if pip won't work, it would be good to know why.

And if/when pip doesn't work, a bug may need to be filed the project trying to be installed.
