Distrobox separate home and user for python

Hey,

Does anybody managed how to not mess own home directory, for example with python packages?

I built my container with the command below:
distrobox create -i registry.fedoraproject.org/fedora-toolbox:latest --init --additional-packages "systemd" -n oreilly --home ~/dbx/oreilly


But when I want to install any package via pip it tries to mess my host's home:
pip3 install requests
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/bennek/.local/bin/pip3", line 5, in <module>
    from pip._internal.cli.main import main
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pip'


Does anybody know how to make my distrobox container to point to my created home?
