pip install issue

[peterd550]

When I run
pip3 install --upgrade --no-index /tmp/docker-py-2.5.1.tar.gz
I get the following issue

Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable

It seems this was fixed in v3.3.0? May want to do a fresh install of a newer version?

#2001

Yes, v2.5.1 is very old. I'd recommend using one of the 6.0.0 betas, which should resolve a lot of issues, particularly around install: pip install docker==6.0.0b2 (find latest on PyPI or GitHub releases)
