Pip is the python package manager included in all supported python installations; it’s a command line tool.
We can’t move away from Python (i.e. download an executable) what we can do is fix the user experience and make it to “just work” for the majority of our users.
The breakdown of the problem in Windows is:
python and hence pip might not be reachable via PATH
the folder in which pip installs applications is not by default reachable by PATH
if not in PATH VSCode cannot find the applicatio…
