    pip is problematic in environments that have their own package

    manager (i.e. anything but bare Windows) because it doesn't honor

    its conventions (e.g. if it's a non-default Python installation, all

    its packages must use versioned or otherwise custom names for

    executable modules - see e.g.

<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40718770/pytest-running-with-another-version-of-python">https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40718770/pytest-running-with-another-version-of-python</a>

    for an illustration). That's why it's not installed by default in

    environments where that's a significant problem.<br>
