Invoke pip install by module not executable
#9972
Conversation
On some OSes and configurations (usually Windows), there can be problems when a binary attempts to one that is in use, especially itself. For this reason, it is more reliable to use `python -m pip install ...` than `pip install`. We have seen some CI failures on Windows due to `pip` failing to update itself because of the direct-executable `pip install` form.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
This LGTM primarily because CI passed. TBH, I'm not convinced it's an OS limitation but more that the pip maintainers changed and/or broke something, as there was a new release published on Saturday:
https://pypi.org/project/pip/23.1/
But calling via module everywhere works fine, even if the issue in pip is fixed eventually.

I'm fairly sure it is a Windows limitation - the only line that did |
