I recently setup a new Ubuntu 16.04.2 machine. I'm trying to install some python packages, but all the packages are getting installed at /usr/local/lib/python2.7.10/bin instead of /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin.

Installing collected packages: git-review



  changing mode of /usr/local/lib/python2.7.10/bin/git-review to 755

Successfully installed git-review-1.25.0

What's the problem here?

I had to remove the pip package that was installed by apt.

sudo apt remove python-pip

And then install pip again according to instructions on their website - https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/.

wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py

sudo python get-pip.py

Looks like pip from Ubuntu's default repository is not same as one distributed by pypi.
