I'm late to the party and have probably misunderstood what's going on totally... but...
I'd create a virtual environment outside of Maya, pip install into it and then inside of Maya I would make the virtualenv's site-packages available. This would leave the Maya installation intact. Is there a reason why you wouldn't want to go down such a route? Do you need to use modules which needs to be compiled during pip install?
