Description

HAWQ no longer embeds python and is now using the system python installation. with this change, installing a new python module now requires root/sudo access to the system python directories. is there any reason why HAWQ would not be able to support deploying python modules to an alternate directory that is owned by gpadmin? or using a python virtual environment?
