sudo pip install is bad #973

Closed TrentonAdams closed 5 years ago

ISSUE TYPE
SUMMARY

sudo pip install is always a bad practise. It can overwrite packages installed via the distribution package manager, breaking the entire python system, and resulting in a need to re-install the OS.

This should be removed, and virtualenv should always be used. If I'm not mistaken pip install is fine too, but virtualenv will allow installation of software without worrying about conflicting versions of libraries. sudo pip install "ansible-container[docker,openshift]"

I ran into these problems with pip myself. After chatting on #python IRC I was told that "sudo pip install" is not a good idea.

Thank you for your report. Fixed in scope of #939

Fix should be available in next pypi release.

At a moment workaround would be using virtualenv and downgrading pip to 9.0.3 OR you might give a shot to unofficial sa-ansible-container builds for develop branch of the project @ https://pypi.org/project/sa-ansible-container/#history
