A comment on the pip "default to --user" issue reminded me that PYTHONUSERBASE does exist as an environment variable: https://docs.python.org/3/using/cmdline.html#envvar-PYTHONUSERBASE I'd genuinely forgotten about that, but it seems to me that there could be some interesting potential use cases for that in combination with suitably populated virtual environments.
