Now that we can break compat in distutils2/packaging, we can change the default install dir to use PEP 370 user site-packages. For users without root, copy-pasting “pysetup run install_dist” from the docs would Just Work™. This would also avoid the dreadful advice to use sudo on OSes that have their own package manager and don’t want users to muck up with /usr. See also #10745. |

In my Winxp machine, I can add and delete directories in python32/Lib/site-packages (all-users installation) from my user account. That is what I expect and want the default to be, not the Terry/whatever that I have never used (or the admin/whatever if I happen to install as admin.) |

With the raise of virtualenv and its inclusion in CPython for 3.3, this is even less a concern, even for UNIX. I’m withdrawing the idea and will continue to advertise --user and warn against sudo in documentation and other venues. |
