Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] installing a python package without elevated privileges

[Martin Braun]

The answer would be virtualenvs, but virtualenvs are not fully supported
in PyBOMBS. You might be able to to this by hand, but I've never tried it:

- Create a prefix using the --virtualenv switch
- Manually pip install the package into the virtualenv
- Maybe you need to manually set the package as installed

When the prefix is enabled, so is the virtualenv, so the package should
get picked up.
