Hi, I have pip in Debian servers (old and new release) and in Fedora,
and don't find any .local/bin
So my argument is more , nobody and noapp put things in ~/.local/bin
Fedora 19:
$ pip install --user --upgrade mercurial
$ ls ~/.local/bin/hg
/home/michael/.local/bin/hg
So, if you use 'pip install --user' to install a Python module that
provides scripts/executables, it will by default put those executables
in ~/.local/bin.
and where is xdg recommendation to use .local/bin ? I goggling it
and
don't find any reference to that .
I don't know where, if anywhere, this behavior is specified. It's just
what the Python package installation tools do. I haven't seen any
other program do this, for better or worse.
