Hi, I think this is a regression from 4.3.
Unfortunately pip uses ~/.local/bin for `pip install --user` calls and when
this is missing people tend to use sudo for packages for all users.
While the previous change unconditionally added the path I did follow the new
4.4 behavior and tested for the directory before pre-pending the directory to
the path.
Thanks,
Greg
