Actually, it will install to sys.prefix, which is usually /usr, if the 
Python version used to run pip is installed via a distro package.

BTW, the recommended way to run pip is actually

python -m pip <options>

because then you can control (via PATH or the command name you use) 
which Python interpreter is used.
