  -h, --help            Show help
  -E DIR, --environment=DIR
                        virtualenv environment to run pip in (either give the
                        interpreter or the environment base directory)
  -s, --enable-site-packages
                        Include site-packages in virtualenv if one is to be
                        created. Ignored if --environment is not used or the

                        are behind an authenticated proxy.  If you provide
                        user@proxy.server:port then you will be prompted for a
                        password.
