I agree, however, --user needs to be more fully integrated into pip's behavior. For example, if I execute pip install --user SomePackage today, when SomePackage is installed someplace outside ~/.local, pip complains that SomePackage is already installed. If I then execute pip install --user --upgrade SomePackage it tries to remove the outdated more global version of SomePackage.
