Could you please explain (to a newbie) exactly what are the advantages
of using the --user option and the possible drawbacks as well? please
Could you tell me why I wouldn't want to use a virtualenv? Is it just
because of the pain of having to activate this virtualenv every time I
want to use those modules? or am I losing any other functionality
provided by my system-wide python?
I am surprised this question was asked 2 days ago, I had the exact same
question today. The numpy module is on version 1.16.2 in the debian
repositories and is on version 1.18.2 in pip.
thank you,
