I never suggest Fedora users run ‘pip’ as root, except when in a
virtualenv, dockerfile or some contained environment.
It is far too easy for pip to overwrite or override a packaged python
library and break system tools, such as the ones used in DNF. Once you’ve
broken dnf, it is hard to fix those libraries since dnf is the tool to fix
them.
I agree. One of the "mission critical" packages has a "private"
module
called snappy, but
a widely used Google compression package also called snappy has been
installed on many
systems. Envs are, however, problematic for the group of users who have
never used a
command-liine before. They are often puzzled why their GUI tool doesn't
find the package they just
installed to a Python env.
