As a consequence, "pip install foo" fails since it tries to install foo in system's global site-packages directory. Using "python -m pip install foo" works as expected. 2) If one uses "python3 -m venv myvenv3-no-system", then pip (and pip3) executables are installed in myvenv3-no-system/bin/. Both, "pip install foo" and "python -m pip install foo" work as expected. Is this something specific to Fedora's Python 3 packaging? If not, I'll post a question to the distutils mailing list.
