This is useful for cross-compiling, when the path to the Python executable that is being used to run pip, available at sys.executable, is not the same as the path to the Python executable that the installed product in a cross-compiled system needs to run.
For example, if your toolchain lives at /build/aarch64--netbsd but you're building software to be installed at /opt/pkg, then sys.executable might be /build/aarch64--netbsd/bin/python3.10 but the shebang line of any scripts installed must /opt/pkg/bin/python3.10. With this change, you can accomplish that with:
/build/aarch64--netbsd/bin/python3.10 -m pip install --executable=/opt/pkg/bin/python3.10 ...
