The "pip install" into a root environment approach is the standard way to setup Docker (and similar) containers, so I think trying to break this on purpose will not do Python a good service. The pip warning about this kind of setup which apparently got added in one of the more recent versions of pip already is causing a lot of unnecessary noise when building containers and doesn't make Python look good in that environment. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
