Hello and at first thank you for all your work on this extension.
Is there any way of changing the default windows installation directory? It's currently C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python38...
on my setup, this directory is part of an active directory service and installing python libraries with all their small text files basically kills the AD service with the computer needing many minutes to login/logoff.
Best regards!
The extension use the default path indicate by Python and PIP. Maybe is better if you use virtual environment.

Hi and thank you for your reply.
I can't get it to work, it seems Appdata/roaming is set as a global path, which I have not the access rights to change.
Even if I activate a virtual environment and reinstall the pip plugin, it still chooses the appdata path.
I will call my IT departement and see if they can remove the appdata/roaming/python dir from the AD.
Best regards!
It's strange, because when you create a virtual environment, you can create it on the route you want, where you have permissions, then the packages will be installed there.
