When using the pip.conf file and building some stuff with sudo (ubuntu) it created a directory ~/.pip/build in the current directory, so /home/myusername/somesvndir/.pip/build and owned as root. Is there a bug in the pip and handling of ~/.pip/build. The log-file and download-cache works fine, they end up in /home/myusername/.pip/cache and pip.log.

Hia, thanks for this. FYI, "use-mirrors" and "build" are deprecated, recommended alternative for the former is to explicitly supply an internal url, e.g. index-url = 'myinternal.pypi.site'
