I'm coming across quite a few StackOverflow posts and emails where beginners are using pip to install a package, but then finding they can't import it because they have multiple python installations and used the wrong pip.
This sounds like a great idea to me, but pip is developer separately from python itself, and I don't think the pip maintainers monitor python-ideas.
At least one (me) does lurk here. ;) I'd suggest filing a feature request on the pip tracker:
https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/new?template=feature-request.md
I second this suggestion to file a feature request for this on the tracker. Additionally, you should also take a look to see if this has been filed already since I do remember having a discussion where this came. :) -- Pradyun
