This issue is related to https://bugs.python.org/issue3561

When installing Python under Windows, if the "Add Python 3.x to PATH" option is flagged, the following two folders are added to the PATH environment variable:
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python3x\
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python3x\Scripts\

However also the following folder should be added, which is where scripts reside when packages are installed with "pip install --user":
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python3x\Scripts\
