This.
If pip is joined at the hip to a specific version of Python, I think that
we ought to be able to specify the version number like we can with Python.
Something like:
pip ... # use whichever version of pip comes first on the PATH
pip3.6 ... # use the pip installed with Python 3.6
pip2.7 ... # use the pip installed with Python 2.7
etc.
And don't say "use a venv" :-)
