Yes.
pip install --user <some python package>
The pip user scheme is to use ~/.local as an FHS-ish thing. IMO, this
is much superior to the cabal, gem, etc. notion that they should each
have their own bin directory for user-installed programs.
That's scary stuff for a distribution like Fedora!
It even overrides (!) Python's search path for Modules:
