[EmergentBehavior]

If you're building from source, as opposed to using a binary, you can use a Python virtual environment to install the package in an isolated environment where you wouldn't need sudo.

[alphaonex86]

I have missing it from the readme? But if (! root) warning should be useful.

[EmergentBehavior]

I can create a new issue to add venv instructions to README. A root warning wouldn't necessarily make sense, because if your user is an authorized 'sudoer' on your system and would have permission to write to /usr/lib/ you wouldn't need root, just sudo pip install.

[alphaonex86]

Then, take warning when my user is not sudoer (and I don't have sudo...) should be more clear.
