swc-installation-test-2.py: Prefer pip to easy_install
For virtual-pypi-installer. easy_install is part of Setuptools [1], which was dead for several years. The Distribute fork took over, but has since been merged back into a revitalized Setuptools (since Setuptools v0.7 [2], tagged on 2013-06-02 [3]). Pip >= v1.4 actually requires a modern Setuptools, not Distribute [4]. Pip also improves on easy_install [5], which does not currently support uninstalling packages [6].
