Comment (by ryandesign):

 Fred, if you don't use `sudo` when you use `pip` then there is no danger
 of you inadvertently installing modules into the MacPorts prefix so that's
 fine. ImageMagick 6 and 7 are available in MacPorts so there's no need for
 you to build it from source.

 Horacio, I can't speak for Homebrew or the contents of the article you
 linked to, but MacPorts ports, including pythons, ''are'' (''of course'')
 intended for use by users. There's no need to install a separate copy of
 python outside of MacPorts that you then have to separately remember to
 update.
