What's the problem this feature will solve?
I want to bring awareness to the lack of documentation of the flag
--target
. I was building a version of blender and I wanted it to have its own python that I cloned into./blender/extern
. This posed a problem cause when I was installing python into extern there isn't an obvious way to use pip to install to a specified path. One can look at the documentation and man file and info file and there is no mention of the--target
flag anywhere.I'm sure there are others who need to install pip packages to a custom path. Why is there no documentation on official sources?
Describe the solution you'd like
I would like documentation of the
--target
flag to be included in all official documentation and be easily findable though search engines.Alternative Solutions
post documentation of forums and other supplemental media about the `--target' flag and its uses.
Additional context
I feel what I have written is clear and I don't feel any additional context is needed. the
--target
flag either needs to be better documented or information about its deprecation needs to be documented and publicized.Code of Conduct
