https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/1668 https://github.com/pypa/pip/pull/7002 Investigate how does it work with venv.

takluyver commented 5 years ago

It should still work as before with a venv - it will only do a user install if it doesn't have write access to the site-packages directory where a normal install would go. And only if site.ENABLE_USER_SITE is true as well.

It seems that the Python installer doesn't add user-site to %PATH% if you selected Install for all users (which installs python to program files).

As the result, even if the link success, the user still can't access the CLI.
