This does not endorse using
main()
as an API to pip.The only purpose of this comment is to document the correct invocation of
runpy.run_module
to execute pip, for those people who decide to run pip in-process in spite of our advice.This would helps wrapper scripts like
ensurepip
, to protect them against needing to change if we movemain()
again.
