html but apparently didn't bother.

Kindest regards.

I apologize. I wrote it up, with the traceback, but the group had moved
on and I decided not to send it.

Unfortunately I deleted that message and now I no longer have a pip to
run

python -m pip install --upgrade pip

So I can't make another traceback. But the upgrade attempt did uninstall
the old pip, which is why I don't have one now, and it died trying to
install Visual Studio 2015.
