For sites under my control, pip is banned. Developers are free to install a package via dnf, or build the package from source against the distro sources. In either case, there are no problems traditionally caused by pip and its inability to manage python packages. We banned pip years ago after pip made a mess of one of our web servers, and the pip developers told us we were on our own to fix it. > Also pip was changed to prevent you installing outside a venv without explicit command option to override.
