What kind of lunacy is it to ask people to set up virtual environments
because packages exist that are installed system-wide by apt or rpm?
So install them as a non-root user in your home directory instead.

And it gets worse/better. Try pyenv. Talk about convoluted.
Personally I'm starting to see the wisdom in C/C++ not having any kind
of upstream module repository. Nothing to screw up. Nothing to attack.
Lately it seems like pypi, npm, crates.io and especially Go just pulling
unvetted from Github were all a bad idea.
