Fedora EPEL Update Notification

Name        : python-pip
Product     : Fedora EPEL 6
Version     : 1.3.1
Release     : 1.el6
URL         : http://www.pip-installer.org
Summary     : Pip installs packages.  Python3 packages.  An easy_install replacement
Description :
Pip is a replacement for `easy_install
<http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall>`_.  It uses mostly the
same techniques for finding packages, so packages that were made
easy_installable should be pip-installable as well.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

1.3.1, fix for CVE-2013-1888, insecure tempdir usage.

Working with a virtualenv from outside the virtualenv (pip -E) is no longer an available option. The currently supported workflow is to install packages into virtualenvs directly using their embedded pip binary.
