I would suggest to add --no-user
to all the pip3 install
commands in the "Python Modules" chapter. This will prevent situations where a reader mistakenly runs the command as a non-root user, but the command appears to succeed, since pip has installed the package into the per-user area.
From my experience testing the Python module recipes, such mistakes are fairly frequent.
With this change, the first paragraph in the "Important" block at the beginning of the chapter won't be necessary.
