I edited the pip user config to log to a file using pip config set user.log ~/pip.log but it never writes to that file. When I run pip with the --log ~/pip.log option it works though.

The output of the pip config debug:

env_var:
env:
global:
  /etc/xdg/pip/pip.conf, exists: False
  /etc/pip.conf, exists: False
site:
  /home/user/python/venv/speech/pip.conf, exists: False
user:
  /home/user/.pip/pip.conf, exists: False
  /home/user/.config/pip/pip.conf, exists: True
    user.log: /home/user/pip.log

I think it must be in section [global] in the config file. So unset it and set properly:

pip config unset user.log
pip config set global.log ~/pip.log
