One cool thing about python3 -m pip install -user is that when you upgrade
your system python version, e.g. when upgrading your Linux distro, you need
to reinstall using pip the python packages you installed when using the
previous system python. That's a very good attribute! It means python
packages don't become stale or get into a tangle over different versions of
python.
