The option does not even work in virtual environments.

Why is this not covered by

pip/src/pip/_internal/commands/install.py

Line 652 in e803e7a

if site_packages_writable(root=root_path, isolated=isolated_mode):

?

The check only handles cases when the site-packages directory is not writable. But errors may still happen when contents in the environment are not writable, even if the site-packages directory itself is.

The most common errors are actually during package uninstallation when pip upgrades a package, i.e. when pip tries to remove files. But the same can happen on some edge cases like when pip tries to install files into an existing directory.

But in any cases, the --user suggestion is always wrong in a virtual environment, where pip install --user is a hard error.

Oh yea, I wasn't asking that as a "I don't see any point in doing this" but more as a "huh, what's wrong with my mental model because I expected this to be covered already".

Okay, looks like the bot is mismanaging it's queue, but there's eventual consistency. This is fine. 🙃

Bump pip from 21.0.1 to 21.1 (PR #2884)
2b44b72 
Bumps [pip](https://github.com/pypa/pip) from 21.0.1 to 21.1.
<details>
<summary>Changelog</summary>
<p><em>Sourced from <a href="https://github.com/pypa/pip/blob/main/NEWS.rst">pip's changelog</a>.</em></p>
<blockquote>
<h1>21.1 (2021-04-24)</h1>
<h2>Process</h2>
<ul>
<li>Start installation scheme migration from <code>distutils</code> to <code>sysconfig</code>. A
warning is implemented to detect differences between the two implementations to
encourage user reports, so we can avoid breakages before they happen.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Features</h2>
<ul>
<li>Add the ability for the new resolver to process URL constraints. (<code>[#8253](pypa/pip#8253) &lt;https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8253&gt;</code>_)</li>
<li>Add a feature <code>--use-feature=in-tree-build</code> to build local projects in-place
when installing. This is expected to become the default behavior in pip 21.3;
see <code>Installing from local packages &lt;https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/user_guide/#installing-from-local-packages&gt;</code>_
for more information. (<code>[#9091](pypa/pip#9091) &lt;https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/9091&gt;</code>_)</li>
<li>Bring back the &quot;(from versions: ...)&quot; message, that was shown on resolution failures. (<code>[#9139](pypa/pip#9139) &lt;https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/9139&gt;</code>_)</li>
<li>Add support for editable installs for project with only setup.cfg files. (<code>[#9547](pypa/pip#9547) &lt;https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/9547&gt;</code>_)</li>
<li>Improve performance when picking the best file from indexes during <code>pip install</code>. (<code>[#9748](pypa/pip#9748) &lt;https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/9748&gt;</code>_)</li>
<li>Warn instead of erroring out when doing a PEP 517 build in presence of
<code>--build-option</code>. Warn when doing a PEP 517 build in presence of
<code>--global-option</code>. (<code>[#9774](pypa/pip#9774) &lt;https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/9774&gt;</code>_)</li>
</ul>
<h2>Bug Fixes</h2>
<ul>
<li>Fixed <code>--target</code> to work with <code>--editable</code> installs. (<code>[#4390](pypa/pip#4390) &lt;https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/4390&gt;</code>_)</li>
<li>Add a warning, discouraging the usage of pip as root, outside a virtual environment. (<code>[#6409](pypa/pip#6409) &lt;https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/6409&gt;</code>_)</li>
<li>Ignore <code>.dist-info</code> directories if the stem is not a valid Python distribution
name, so they don't show up in e.g. <code>pip freeze</code>. (<code>[#7269](pypa/pip#7269) &lt;https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/7269&gt;</code>_)</li>
<li>Only query the keyring for URLs that actually trigger error 401.
This prevents an unnecessary keyring unlock prompt on every pip install
invocation (even with default index URL which is not password protected). (<code>[#8090](pypa/pip#8090) &lt;https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8090&gt;</code>_)</li>
<li>Prevent packages already-installed alongside with pip to be injected into an
isolated build environment during build-time dependency population. (<code>[#8214](pypa/pip#8214) &lt;https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8214&gt;</code>_)</li>
<li>Fix <code>pip freeze</code> permission denied error in order to display an understandable error message and offer solutions. (<code>[#8418](pypa/pip#8418) &lt;https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8418&gt;</code>_)</li>
<li>Correctly uninstall script files (from setuptools' <code>scripts</code> argument), when installed with <code>--user</code>. (<code>[#8733](pypa/pip#8733) &lt;https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8733&gt;</code>_)</li>
<li>New resolver: When a requirement is requested both via a direct URL
(<code>req @ URL</code>) and via version specifier with extras (<code>req[extra]</code>), the
resolver will now be able to use the URL to correctly resolve the requirement
with extras. (<code>[#8785](pypa/pip#8785) &lt;https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8785&gt;</code>_)</li>
<li>New resolver: Show relevant entries from user-supplied constraint files in the
error message to improve debuggability. (<code>[#9300](pypa/pip#9300) &lt;https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/9300&gt;</code>_)</li>
<li>Avoid parsing version to make the version check more robust against lousily
debundled downstream distributions. (<code>[#9348](pypa/pip#9348) &lt;https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/9348&gt;</code>_)</li>
<li><code>--user</code> is no longer suggested incorrectly when pip fails with a permission
error in a virtual environment. (<code>[#9409](pypa/pip#9409) &lt;https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/9409&gt;</code>_)</li>
<li>Fix incorrect reporting on <code>Requires-Python</code> conflicts. (<code>[#9541](pypa/pip#9541) &lt;https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/9541&gt;</code>_)</li>
