Having been badly burned by sudo pip install in the past, I agree that a warning is appropriate, with a suggestion to use pip install --user

Hi!
On the last FESCo meeting while discussing the sudo pip Fedora [Change],
maxamillion proposed that it might be useful to issue a warning when a
user tries to run pip with root privileges--as in most cases it's not
what they should be doing (`pip install --user` is usually more
appropriate).

What do you think?
