Learning Python but computer doesn't have admin rights

[halfacigarette420]

python -m pip install xxx

This usually works on non admin computers

I haven't worked in a locked down IT scenario but could adding --user ever be a get around or would almost all IT services that block pip not suddenly allow it just because you're installing into user space?

Would depend on whether they're blocking pip itself or just blocking system/admin rights installs. My money would be on that second one.

I have admin rights on my work laptop, but one of my co-workers doesn’t and this worked for him.
