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?
Open a terminal and run:
pip uninstall git-review
sudo pip uninstall git-review
sudo pip install --prefix /usr/local git-review
git review --version
The last command should output something like git-review version 1.25.0.
$ git review Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/git-review", line 7, in <module> from git_review.cmd import main ImportError: No module named git_review.cmd
sudo apt remove python-pip and then reinstalled pip according to instructions here - pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing
Be cautious if you're using a Python install that's managed by your operating system or another package manager. get-pip.py does not coordinate with those tools, and may leave your system in an inconsistent state.

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.
sudo python <(wget -O- https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py 2>/dev/null)

git reviewwork?/usr/local/lib/python2.7.10/bin/git-review./usr/binshouldn't be used because it's used only for dpkg/Apt packages. Doespip install --install-option="--prefix=/usr/local/bin" git-reviewput it in/usr/local/binand have it working correctly?
