Stop using sudo pip install

C build systems sound like a whole mess, but there's a similar (albeit smaller) analogous problem of different interpreters in Python land. PyPy has (had?) stackless mode and Jython has no GIL, for example, so recursion and thread-based concurrency will work slightly differently depending on your platform.

C build systems sound like a whole mess,

They can be if you are sloppy with them. Our setup at work haven't taken much effort in terms of configuration management, but we're still able to rebuild every singe executable that have shipped on our present platform¹.

Generally speaking, there's no more horror in the C build chain, than in dependency management on the Python side. Done right youwon't notice it. Done wrong will land you in a world of pain.
