[Owfs-developers] Installing pyownet

[Mick S. <mi...@su...>]

I have just discovered that if I install pyownet with

pip3 install pyownet

it works fine for programs that I run under my user, but if I run 
something with sudo I get

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pyownet'

I can overcome this by installing as root with

sudo pip3 install pyownet


Question - is it good practice to always install packages like this as root?

Thanks

Mick
