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.

for an illustration). That's why it's not installed by default in
environments where that's a significant problem.<br>
