      Framework Python was installed to:
        #{prefix}/Frameworks/Python.framework

      You may want to symlink this Framework to a standard OS X location,
      such as:
        mkdir ~/Frameworks
        ln -s "#{prefix}/Frameworks/Python.framework" ~/Frameworks
    EOS

    general_caveats = <<-EOS.undent
      A "distutils.cfg" has been written, specifing the install-scripts folder as:
        #{scripts_folder}

      If you install Python packages via "python setup.py install", easy_install, pip,
      any provided scripts will go into the install-scripts folder above, so you may
      want to add it to your PATH.

      Distribute has been installed, so easy_install is available.
      To update distribute itself outside of Homebrew:
      $ easy_install pip
      $ pip install --upgrade distribute
