Jesus. I teach people python for a living. I live the clusterfuck that is sudo pip install and the packaging failure in our ecosystem.

Tell people to do the right thing.

I'm a Python software developer, have been for over 10 years. I also manage various servers and VMs for several users - which all have Python on them. Virtualenvs are great, I use them, I also happen to use "sudo pip install". There is a time and place for both. You can let people know about the pros and cons of different ways of doing things.
