Neither did I.

Happily, when I do pip in a console I am really executing pip.cmd and that
contains python -m pip %*

Whew! :-)

Use python -m pip instead of plain pip

[Thomas Passin]

In many places, I (and others) keep saying you should invoke *pip* using

python -m pip

instead of plain 

pip

Here is a page that goes into it in more detail.  It also turns out that 
*python 
-m pip* is needed to update pip itself, which I didn't know.

Why you should use python -m pip
