In Issue #1641 @adriansev has explained that for software maintainers installing things at the system level there can be clear reasons why one would want to install the Python bindings with the --ignore-installed
pip
option instead of the --force-reinstall
option
Instead of trying to guess what users may or may not need, he also points out that by adding a PIP_OPTIONS
CMake option this would allow expert users to exactly choose what they want, making it much more adaptable to installs across the board from a local user to a system admin.
This seems like a great idea to me, that should also be easy to implement.
