No?
If it is for Python, yes it gets installed in the Python installation. Probably best to use an example. In this case xlrd, a Python library to read Excel files. I am using Ubuntu so the Linux package name may differ from what you see on Fedora. If I go through my distribution(Ubuntu) package manager(Synaptic) I find the package: python-xlrd This is automatically installed by the package manager. If I chose not use Synaptic to install the Python package, but instead use pip then I would use the name in the Python Package Index(pypi): pip install xlrd In this case pip takes care of the installation. The end result is the same, the path to get there is different. In general Python packages installed through your distribution(Fedora) have the files pre-compiled for a specific version of Python. Fetching a Python package directly usually involves a step where the files are compiled to the Python version they see, whether manually or through a process like pip. > > > When you are in your virtual environment try: > > pip install pysqlite > > I did.
