pip's documentation explicitly states to not use `import pip`: > While it is implemented in Python, and so is available from your Python code via > `import pip`, you must not use pip’s internal APIs in this way. This example is in direct contradiction with the documentation's guidance and, thus, has been removed.

pip's documentation explicitly states to not use
import pip:(from https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/user_guide/#using-pip-from-your-program)
This example is in direct contradiction with the documentation's guidance and, thus, I'd like to see it removed.
(puts on pip maintainer hat) Recommending/suggesting this adds additional support burden for us, since we've spent a bunch of effort to communicate to our users that the code in pip's namespace is not meant-to-be-reused code via
import pip.<whatever>. (takes off hat)
