You need root access to install into the system Python, but IMO you should 
not want to do that except in some special circumstances. Instead, you can 
install Fedora's virtualenv package with the dnf tool, (python2-virtualenv 
if I remember correctly) and then use that to make new Python environments 
in folders that you do have write access to.
