Comment (by dustin):

 The tutorial is trying to find the simplest way, and generally 'apt-get
 install' or 'port install' or the like is the easiest way.

 The manual, on the other hand, is looking for the most general way, and
 that's pip -- it allows you to upgrade or downgrade (or stay put) easily,
 without waiting for downstream packages.  The manual should probably
 *also* mention using packages, but include a warning about version lag and
 possible difficulty upgrading.

 Do you want to make a patch for that?
