[Python-modules-team] Bug#692108: python-pip: --ignore-installed option is ignored

Sat Jun 1 23:21:53 UTC 2013

Control: tag -1 upstream

> --ignore-installed <module name>

Since 1.3, this should be possible, using --user instead of setting a
prefix. While this doesn't solve your specific problem, it should allow
you to install a newer version of a system package, locally.
See https://github.com/pypa/pip/pull/705

I'm not going to close this bug in the 1.3.1 upload, as this specific
issue isn't dealt with. I recommend filing it upstream.
