One thing about *nix is even though you can’t write to your normal Python install location without root, invoking pip with permissions (assuming you have them) is as easy as prefacing it with ``sudo`` in most cases. Does Windows have an equivalent or do you need to launch a whole new shell?

There is the "runas" command, though it is a tad harder to use. There is a third-party windows sudo command also that works as you'd expect. -Mike
