If you apt-get install python3-pip and then: $ pip3 install nose2 f.e. as non-root, you'll get the expected permission denied error: error: could not create '/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/nose2': Permission denied If you sudo that, then everything gets installed into the right place: ls /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/ __pycache__/ nose2/ nose2-0.4.7.egg-info/ six-1.3.0.egg-info/ six.py You also cannot run ensurepip as non-root (outside of a venv) because you will also get a permission denied. If you sudo -m ensurepip, you will get things installed into /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages. That's unfortunate, but it seems like you have to willfully try to break your system in order to do that.
