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" :-) -- Steven D'Aprano -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
