Hi, On many places users are advised to use "pip install" to install python packages. As Fedora "evangelist" I also have to help my friends/colleagues to setup libs/softwares on Fedora. One the most common trap is the "pip install", many user does "sudo pip install --upgrade whatever" and if this is a package already installed by the system it may mess up everything since on Fedora the install path is the same. I also had to help a colleague who installed anaconda on Fedora 2x and added it to PYTHONPATH which broke yum, it took me few minutes to figure out what he did. He did this because he followed a formation where the guy said "you should install anaconda even on linux", in my opinion this is a really bad advice. So my point is first, I think on ubuntu they install with pip on a different folder than packaged python packages. Should Fedora do something like this?(IE configure pip to install on some folder like /usr/local/libXX/pythonX.X) Should we do more communication on virtualenv usage? Specially for jupyter stuff which isn't packaged on Fedora(as far as I know), at least my colleagues engineers and scientists use it a lot. I have no perfect solution for this issue, anyway I would be happy to get feedbacks on this topic. Best regards, Alexis. |
