@blumlaut It's... writing there? o.O that's unusual. Usually it wants to either write to root install stupidly despite not allowing being run as root, OR using in a virtualenv. If you use pyenv to install python and pip it behaves nicer and just puts it in pyenv's prefix paths. I think 'uv' is starting to kind of replace it but I haven't used it yet. Pip really is frustrating now with its default behavior basically being useless in a given directory without options being specified. (I think pip --user install or pip install --user might work too)

    @KayOhtie@blimps.xyz i'm in a venv, Python 3.14.3 pip 26.0.1, when downloading packages via pip install it them into /tmp before installing them, which causes my system to run OOM because some of the packages im installing are multiple gigabytes in size.
