My computer was preconfigured to add the --user flag to pip installs by default via the pip.ini config file. This does not appear to be compatible with virtual environments. Is there a pip command line flag to set user=false?
How to disable a default user install for python pip?

Actually yes, you can use --no-user flag which have (or at least should) higher priority than the one configured in .ini file.
Another thing is probably it's configured on some global space you do not have access to, but it should be possible to have your local pip.ini file that has precedence over global one.
As last resort, you can use python -m pip install in virtual env, it should corectly install things in virtualenv.
