Hi! On the last FESCo meeting while discussing the sudo pip Fedora [Change], maxamillion proposed that it might be useful to issue a warning when a user tries to run pip with root privileges--as in most cases it's not what they should be doing (`pip install --user` is usually more appropriate).
What do you think?

I should add that thanks to the aforementioned Fedora [Change] using `sudo pip` should not be dangerous as it could have been before, so the warning would be just for good measure.

Having been badly burned by sudo pip install in the past, I agree that a warning is appropriate, with a suggestion to use pip install --user

I'm not a member of the SIG, but as someone who did this in the past before learning proper practices, I would find this *extremely* helpful, especially when running certain software that explicitly tells the user to run this, even with it being bad practice.
A big +1 from me…

I guess when you're building an RPM you're not typically running as root either, so standard RPM builds would still be fine. So +1 from me.
Cheers, Nick.
Hi! The warning when sudo pip installing is deployed in rawhide!
Package version: python-pip-9.0.1-6.fc26.
Cheers, Tomas
