Include pip in path

[KevinBrogan]

Currently after installation, the pip command is not available on the command line.

Having the option while installing to include the scripts directory as part of the path, or some other method which includes pip, would be useful to avoid having to to it manually.

Unfortunately, there is no "scripts" directory here. There's a global commands directory that Python runtimes are added to, but pip/etc. don't use (and it probably shouldn't, since it'd just make a mess), and no PATH modifications per-install (or we get back into the unreliable mess that the install manager gets us away from).

Use py -m pip to launch pip. It also works for most other commands, and if it doesn't, report to the tool and they should be able to enable it easily. Or create a virtual environment and activate it, then you'll get its Scripts directory on PATH for your session, which is infinitely more robust than modifying settings permanently.

That said, this is sure to be a popular request, so I'm going to pin this issue so people can see the explanation. And if someone comes up with a brilliant idea on how to make it work, we're open to it, but automatically modifying PATH isn't it.
