I just tried to "pip install ipython" and got:

error: could not create
'/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/share/doc/ipython':
Permission denied

indeed:

$ ls -l /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/share/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x  3 root  admin  102 Oct 11 09:14 doc
drwxrwxr-x  3 root  admin  102 Jun 11  2011 man

which looks like the doc dir should have the same perms as the man dir.

we might want to clen up that tiny nugget in future builds.

Oddly enough the share/doc directory is created in the postinstall script for the documentation, looking at the script again makes me think that the script could be removed other than the symlink in /Developer/Documentation and that link is not useful on modern systems.   Changing that can wait until we switch to a newer installer format (see issue15661)

The attached patch is relative to the 2.7 tree and should fix the issue by explicitly setting the directory mode when creating it.
