Hi,
On many places users are advised to use "pip install" to install python
packages. As Fedora "evangelist" I also have to help my
friends/colleagues to setup libs/softwares on Fedora. One the most
common trap is the "pip install", many user does "sudo pip install --
upgrade whatever" and if this is a package already installed by the
system it may mess up everything since on Fedora the install path is
the same.
I also had to help a colleague who installed anaconda on Fedora 2x and
added it to PYTHONPATH which broke yum, it took me few minutes to
figure out what he did.
He did this because he followed a formation where the guy said "you
should install anaconda even on linux", in my opinion this is a really
bad advice.
So my point is first, I think on ubuntu they install with pip on a
different folder than packaged python packages. Should Fedora do
something like this?(IE configure pip to install on some folder like
/usr/local/libXX/pythonX.X)
Should we do more communication on virtualenv usage? Specially for
jupyter stuff which isn't packaged on Fedora(as far as I know), at
least my colleagues engineers and scientists use it a lot.
I have no perfect solution for this issue, anyway I would be happy to
get feedbacks on this topic.
Best regards,
Alexis.
