On Linux, at least, it's standard for pip to install into the user's
site-packages location if it's not invoked with admin privileges - even
without --user. Pip will emit a message saying so. Well, that used to be
true but nowadays Pip wants you to use the --break-system-packages flag
if you want to insist on installing into the system's Python install,
even if it's going to go into --user.
I've always been a little baffled by that message when installing with
--user. How can that possibly break system stuff?
