Hi Ken,

> Just curious... What makes 'pip install pydrive' an ugly experience?

It's been a couple years. I seem to remember pip splattering files
throughout the local file hierarchy (/usr/share/python ?) and not
tracking them so that uninstall didn't reverse the process.

I prefer rclone's one file approach. (Probably pip is very lovable once
you get to know it. :) )

Also, I think back then pydrive or google-python-api-wrapper was
stagnant and depended on old other pip packages. My old config shows
that I was specifically using oauth2client==1.5.2 . Not sure why
anymore. :/

Thanks for your work!
C.
