Perhaps a better idea would be to add some smarts to the REPL (but not to

I was thinking the same thing. If it could also catch accidental
python3 -m pip install
commands, that would be even better.
I feel like these would deserve text adventure style errors:
>>> pip install spam
I don't see a pip here
>>> python
You're already running a Python!
>>> pip uninstall eggs
You ask nicely, but pip refuses to uninstall from inside this shell.
Cheers,
Steve
