Hi,
I recently discovered the wonders of pip.conf: if I create a file
~/.config/pip/pip.conf* with:
[install]
user = true
then pip will install to the --user site-packages by default, rather
than trying to install packages into system directories.
The trouble is that this fails when you also use virtualenvs. In a
virtualenv, --user doesn't work, so pip fails when trying to install
anything in a virtualenv as long as the user pip.conf contains those lines.
Short of adding a pip.conf to every single virtualenv, is there any way
to work around this, and configure pip to install packages
- into the user directories if possible
- into the environment when in an environment
by default?
Thanks,
Thomas

Inside of a virtualenv, what's the difference between a --user install
and a system one?
