Pip --user installs package to Default user directory on Windows 10
You can try setting the install target with the --target option like so:
pip install --target=C:\Users\Autouser\Appdata\Roaming\Python\site-packages package_nameIf that doesn't work, another option is to try using --install-option like this:
pip install --install-option="--prefix=$PREFIX_PATH" package_nameFinally, if all else fails, here's one more way to do it:
PYTHONUSERBASE=/path/to/install/to pip install --userYou can specify which python version to install the package for by using python2.x -m pip install ...
Hopefully one of these helps you! :)
Unfortunately I had to fix the problem in production quickly, so I gave up and installed it without the --user option to c:/python27/... directory.I guess one of @DeltaMarine101 suggestions would help.
