Occasionally I run into comments or responses that state emphatically that running pip under sudo is "wrong" or "bad", but there are cases (including the way I have a bunch of tools set up) where it is either much simpler, or even necessary to run it that way.
What are the risks associated with running pip under sudo?
Note that this is not the same question as this one, which, despite the title, provides no information about risks. This also isn't a question about how to avoid using sudo, but about specifically why one would want to.
