The proof of concept is almost ready.
I have a couple of questions to anyone familiar with pip api (and on windows for question 2)

1. Is a restart of the interpreter absolutely required for pip.operations.freeze.freeze() to reflect changes?(install/uninstall)?

2. (Windows particular) Is a permission similar to sudo required to install packages using pip? If not, would it be OK to install only to user home director in *nix? Doing so would be allow code to be same across platforms. It would also prevent asking the end user where they want the package to be installed.
