I don't consider that particularly sound adice.  easy_install is hardly 
an "obscure Python installation tool".  If you get pip it will look 
after the dependancies for you.  The site you're referenced is 
unofficial.  FWIW I've used it and never had a problem, but it's 
certainly a case of "buyer beware".
