Pip Install and Python Path

I am using pip install on a mac to get my python requirements for a django website.

I got pip from MacPorts

port install pip-2.7

Now the problem is the pip installs the packages in a location which is not in my python sys.path.

I just copied this bogus location

/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/

to a location present in my sys.path

/Library/Python/2.7/

Of course this worked ok, but I will use pip in the future so I need a persistent solution.

The question is how can I alter my sys.path to recognize that crap location or how do I tell pip to install dependencies somewhere else ?
