For this use case, why are you installing into
/usr/lib{64,}/python2.7/site-packages ?

~/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages sounds like it would suit this use much
better.

For pip, the command line to do that is:

pip-python --user PACKAGENAME

(I think there's an easy_install equivalent but I try to avoid setuptools
stuff when I can :-)

I believe that that directory is set by upstream python so it should work
out of the box on Fedora and other systems.
