[Python-modules-team] Bug#725848:

[Nathaniel Smith]

On Fedora, there's a line in /etc/skel/.bash_profile that adds
~/.local/bin to the default PATH. Debian doesn't have an equivalent.

I just filed #820856 to hopefully get this added to Debian.

(It's possible that in the mean time pip might need to grow some logic
to check whether the user's PATH is correct, and even offer to fix it
up by appending something to the user's ~/.something. This is a pretty
significant stumbling block for new users, and even if Debian fixes
this today then it will take quite some time for the change to
propagate out... esp. if the fix goes into /etc/skel, because in that
case existing installations will *never* get the fix, only new ones
will.)
