Issue
I made Virt2 virtual environment.
using $ python -m venv Virt2.
I want to install my custom packages in "site-packages" directory. However packages are installed in "dist-packages" directory.
what should I do to install packages in my python virtual environment site-packages??
my python version 3.6.2 (in /usr/local/bin)
Solution
You use sudo and sudo switches user to root, i.e. you're completely outside of you virtual env. System pip3 outside of virtual env installs packages into a system directory which is dist-packages.
Run pip install inside you virtual env without sudo.
