One thing about *nix is even though you can’t write to your normal Python install location without root, invoking pip with permissions (assuming you have them) is as easy as prefacing it with sudo in most cases. Does Windows have an equivalent or do you need to launch a whole new shell?

There is the "runas" command, though it is a tad harder to use. There is a third-party windows sudo command also that works as you'd expect.
