solidfire-cli installed outside of venv can't store connections for non-root users

I know venv is the recommended approach, but sometimes it's not practical.
In this case even if I touch and chown the file appropriately, it won't store connection details.

user@vm$ ll /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/connections.csv
-rw------- 1 user user 0 Dec 24 16:22 /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/connections.csv

user@vm$ sfcli connection push --mvip 10.128.59.60 --username admin --password p@ss --name "test"

  ERROR: Problem reading /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/connections.csv 
  because: (13, 'Permission denied') Try changing the permissions of that file.

I need to use sudo to execute sfcli, then it works.

• solidfire-cli (1.5.0.29)
• solidfire-sdk-python (1.5.0.87)

This isn't really a bug, but maybe just something to pay attention to for those who don't use venv.
