Yaaaaaaay. Ubuntu will now make `pip install whatever` as a user do something sensible, rather than just explode because it can't write to a root-owned directory (which is terrible because everyone then turns around and writes `sudo pip install whatever`, which overwrites a bunch of your system libraries.) Fantastic. Out-of-the-box usability for developers, step 1. Nice work +Didier Roche. Looking at the bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-pip/+bug/1419695 there are still some issues to be worked out with upstream `pip`, but hopefully they will get sorted out OK (and upstream pip probably think "fine, use pip to install stuff at system level, we don't mind", whereas Ubuntu say "don't do that, you'll break things"). Winner. #ubuntulovesdevelopers
