Comment (by hellais):

 The user must make sure that the pip command does not return any errors.
 Failing to do so can lead to a compromise.

 If you are using that procedure in a script you should check for the
 return code of `pip`. If the return code is != 0 then it should hard fail
 and not continue to the python setup.py step.

 Is there something that should be done to address this issue? Should the
 documentation for the README.md of ooni-backend be more clear?
