In RHEL 8, `sudo python3 setup.py install` installs to /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages But python3/platform-python doesn't own that dir, that would be against FSH. We need to create it if it doesn't exist, otherwise this happens: [root@undercloud-0 pip-20.0.1]# python3 setup.py install running install error: can't create or remove files in install directory The following error occurred while trying to add or remove files in the installation directory: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/test-easy-install-597593.write-test' The installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or the distutils default setting) was: /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ This directory does not currently exist. Please create it and try again, or choose a different installation directory (using the -d or --install-dir option). [root@undercloud-0 pip-20.0.1]# python3 setup.py install -d /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ usage: setup.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] ...] or: setup.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...] or: setup.py --help-commands or: setup.py cmd --help error: option -d not recognized [root@undercloud-0 pip-20.0.1]# python3 setup.py install --install-dir /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ usage: setup.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] ...] or: setup.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...] or: setup.py --help-commands or: setup.py cmd --help error: option --install-dir not recognized Reported by Robin Cernin (CCed) via e-mail, they can provide more details, such as what is in the directory. However this was considered a bug in Fedora: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1576924 Fedora fix (happened right after branching RHEL 8): https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-setuptools/pull-request/5 RHEL 7 is not affected (branching of python3-setuptools for 7.7 happened after the Fedora fix).
