Hello.

I have a question which is pretty much described in the title. Whenever I do "pip install elementtree", it goes on and on but stops, giving me this error (somewhat copied)

"Error, could not gain access to dist-packages. Permission failure."

I suppose this kind of error will pop up whenever I do another pip install.


How do I give pip permission to install packages into dist-packages? (it chooses dist-packages)

Thank you.

Anyone willing to take a minute to solve this for me? :)

Thanks.
