If you're not inside a virtualenv, then "pip install --user <whatever>" will install "<whatever>" to your user packages directory rather than the system site packages. I'm not sure what it does inside a virtualenv, as I've never tried it. The behaviour of "pip uninstall" might need a little thought, though, if "pip install" changes to automatically user the user site directory when it can't write to the system one. At the moment, I think it's the same as install - it complains it can't write to the system directory, even if the package is present in the user directory.
