I noticed that README recommends sudo pip as installation method.

This practice is discouraged by Python community, as it conflicts with operating system package management and might lead to broken Python installations. I recommend guiding using pip --user or virtualenv instead.

Thanks for the heads up! pip --user or venv is something I have a hard time remembering to do and my default to 'Operation not permitted' or 'Access denied' is to sudo :P.
I'll update the READMEs soon.
