Add /home/circleci/.local/bin to PATH for --user installs on Python images

Ecosystem CircleCI Images

When installing packages on the circleci/python:3.7.4 image using the --user flag, I recieve the following error:

WARNING: The scripts py.test and pytest are installed in '/home/circleci/.local/bin' which is not on PATH.

I then can not use the pytest command in my next step. Please consider adding the local bin to PATH so that user local installs of python packages work correctly. Thanks in advance.

As an aside, https://hub.docker.com/r/circleci/python links to the CircleCI 2.0 forum, which is locked. :slight_smile:

Hey @drazisil,

These kinds of requests are best as GitHub Issues. I created one for you: https://github.com/circleci/circleci-images/issues/420

Doing some research, this makes plenty of sense to me. Here’s a resource for example: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/316765/which-distributions-have-home-local-bin-in-path

Also, we’ll get Docker Hub updated, thanks.
