As a general rule, you only want to elevate privileges(sudo) if you absolutely have to. One good alternative is to use a Python virtualenv, as described in this this question.

Of course, if you're just tinkering, it's probably not a big deal.

You need to install it as root user, so use sudo:

sudo pip install pokitdok
