Since you said you installed these Python packages with pip, they are
probably on pypi. In that case, it is recommended to use CHEESESHOP as
the MASTER_SITE (cheeseshop is the old name for pypi itself) instead of
going through github.

Also recommend reading through the documentation in the "Using Python"
chapter in the Porter's Handbook and the comments in Uses/python.mk to
really understand everything you're doing.
