Ah, interesting! pip is the installer for python packages. When I run the command above it will also install that package in $HOME/.local/bin on my Fedora box. It's the first tool that does so. $HOME/.local.bin didn't exist before I ran this command. Still $HOME/.local/bin is not on my PATH. I'd have to add it myself. So we have identified at least one installation method that indeed does follow the systemd spec. I wonder whether npm (for nodeJS), guix (for guile), cpan (for perl) and so on have similar user local installation options that use $HOME/.local.
