Virtualenv / pip installation log?

If you care about keeping the logs, you probably care also about pip's verbose option

-v, --verbose Give more output. Option is additive, and can be used up to 3 times.

When you run the pip, you can specify the logfile.

pip install matplotlib --log LOG_FILE

That file will contain the verbose log

for example,

pip install matplotlib --log log.txt

This will create a log.txt in the same directory and put the log in that.
