Tarek Ziadé <ziade.ta...@gmail.com> added the comment:

install_userbase is using USER_BASE which is in site.py.

This value is initialized when Python starts, and does check for
PYTHONUSERBASE in the environ. (if ENABLE_USER_SITE is true)

If this doesn't happen, this is most likely because the user can't write
to its .local.

If he can, you need to debug the Python starting process (site.main())
to see why it's not used.
