VS Code on Windows: install python packages to the default directory











up vote

favorite












When i install extensions like pylint through the VSCode GUI (it tells me that it needs some package and asks me if i want to install it), it installs them to ...



C:/Users/me/AppData/Roaming/Python/Python37/...



by doing



python -m pip install -U <package> --user



How can i make VS Code install them to the default directory by doing



python -m pip install <package>



?



I prefer having everything in one folder.



(I know how to do this from a command line but im curious where this setting resides in VSCode)
