To install docker-compose from PyPI, run this from inside boot2docker:

```bash
docker@boot2docker:~$ 
tce-load -wi python && curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | \
  sudo python - && sudo pip install -U docker-compose
```

To save having to run the above every time the boot2docker VM is restarted (since changes don't persist), you can use `bootlocal.sh` like so:

```bash
docker@boot2docker:~$ 
echo 'su docker -c "tce-load -wi python" && \
  curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | \
  python - && pip install -U docker-compose' | \ 
  sudo tee /var/lib/boot2docker/bootlocal.sh > /dev/null && \
  sudo chmod +x /var/lib/boot2docker/bootlocal.sh
```

(The `su docker -c` gymnastics are required since `tce-load` cannot be run as root, and `bootlocal.sh` is run as root. The `chmod` of `bootlocal.sh` should be unnecessary once #915 is fixed.
Add -a to the `tee` command if you need to append, rather than overwrite `bootlocal.sh`.)

If you wish to use a pre-release version of docker-compose, then replace `pip install -U docker-compose` with `pip install -U docker-compose>=1.3.0rc1` or equivalent.
