Both are essentially the same. The pip executable uses the pip module. HOWEVER… You should never run either as root on a Fedora system that you expect to ever use “dnf” on at a later point. Pip can and will install libraries that can break OS tools that are written in python (such as dnf). Not only that, but the RPM database won’t know about the new or updated libraries, causing general confusion. If you want to install extra modules, use the “venv” module to create a separate python environment to install into, which doesn’t replace system libraries. It’s fairly painless and you can have multiple environments, activated on demand. -- Jonathan Billings
