This.

If pip is joined at the hip to a specific version of Python, I think that 
we ought to be able to specify the version number like we can with Python.

Something like:

pip ...  # use whichever version of pip comes first on the PATH
pip3.6 ...  # use the pip installed with Python 3.6
pip2.7 ...  # use the pip installed with Python 2.7

etc.

And don't say "use a venv" :-)
