This is a tracking bug for Change: Making sudo pip Safe (Again) For more details, see: https://fedoraproject.org//wiki/Changes/Making_sudo_pip_safe At the present time, running sudo pip3 in Fedora is not safe. Pip shares its installation directory with dnf, can remove dnf-managed files and generally break the Python 3 interpreter. We propose a series of measures that will make it safe to use.
On 2017-Feb-28, we have reached the Fedora 26 Change Checkpoint: Completion deadline (testable). At this point, all accepted changes should be substantially complete, and testable. Additionally, if a change is to be enabled by default, it must be enabled at Change Completion deadline as well. Change tracking bug should be set to the MODIFIED state to indicate it achieved completeness. Incomplete and non testable Changes will be reported to FESCo for 2017-Mar-03 meeting.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 26 development cycle. Changing version to '26'.
May I ask for status update on this Change, as requested in Comment #1 ?
A couple of unexpected issues appeared after we applied the patches, more precise description is in [0] thread on python-devel mailing list. We discussed all known issues and possible related problems, which can appear in the future and we decided to postpone the Change for Fedora 27 to have enough time to test everything properly and find all packages that might be affected.

On 2017-Sep-05 we reached the "Change Checkpoint: 100% Code Complete Deadline" milestone for Fedora 27 release. At this point all the Changes not at least in "ON_QA" state should be brought to FESCo for review. Please update the state of this bug to "ON_QA" if it is already 100% completed. Please let me know in case you have any trouble with the implementation and the Change needs any help or review. Thanks, Jan
