TLDR
- NO =
sudo pip- NEVER RUN PIP WITH SUDO
- YES =
sudo aptorsudo apt-get- installing Debian packages is OK
- many Python modules are available as Debian packages
- YES =
sudo /absolute/path/to/venv/bin/python foo.py- invoking Python with sudo is OK
- this is required in some situations to access underlying hardware (ex: neopixel)
- PEP 668
- xkcd 1987
