You will need to be able to save things in /usr/local/lib/python*/

I've made those dirs owner root, group "staff", chmod 775 with
setguid, and put myself in staff. I think that's how it's done.

The other thing you could try is installing it somewhere else, using
the command line switch (eg ~/src), and then symlinking to that dir
from /usr/local/lib/python*/dist-packages

That's off the top of my head and may be completely the wrong way to
go about it.

Benford's law, also called the first-digit law, states that in lists
of numbers from many (but not all) real-life sources of data, the
leading digit is distributed in a specific, non-uniform way. According
to this law, the first digit is 1 almost one third of the time, and
larger digits occur as the leading digit with lower and lower
frequency, to the point where 9 as a first digit occurs less than one
time in twenty. (via @cyberu)
