Dave Trombly replied to me with:
   You will likely break things if you link the system 'pip' like that, the
tools installed on the system are not in the default path for a reason.
   ...
   Please strongly consider using virtual environments when doing any sort
of Python development - this is near universal / standard now.
   This way, you will be running the tools (including pip) located in your
venv, and not the site-installed tools.

I'll take your recommendation very seriously, I appreciate the advice. In
this case, I will humbly point out, I wasn't really doing python
development (but I will in the future)
-- I was just trying to install a relatively simple script. I'm spoiled by
Perl: "Keep simple things simple and make difficult things possible." :-)
