I subsequently noticed a lib
directory in my current working directory. I didn't look inside it before it was removed, but I suspect that my PIP_SRC
and/or PYTHONUSERBASE
environment variables are not being passed through to pip
by pip-accel
?
Hi Tai Lee and thanks for the feedback. I'll take a more detailed look at this soon, but I wanted to share an observation with you:
I have been successfully using pip-accel install --user ...
commands for a few months now (as part of a scheme to install my personal and favorite Python packages and tools in my per-user site-packages directory, this concerns roughly 90 packages) and while trying to get this to work the first time around, I found out that I needed to install pip-accel in the per-user site-packages directory in order to successfully install other packages in the per-user site-packages directory using pip-accel.
I realize pip doesn't require the same treatment and yes this is a bug (not sure how easy it is to fix), but I wanted to point out that there is at least a workaround that I've used successfully for a while now.
See: https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/user_guide/#user-installs and https://docs.python.org/2/install/#alternate-installation-the-user-scheme
First, I attempt to install a package into user directory with
pip-accel
:But when I check installed packages, it's not there:
It's also not even in system site packages:
Try again, same result:
Try with
pip
, and it works as expected:
