If there's only one Python 3 installed then "pip3 install ..." _ought_ 
to be equivalent. However, in the face of virtualenvs etc there may 
often be several pip3s.

Using "python3 -m pip install ..." ensures that you are using the pip 
which is associated with "python3" (which you can adjust to be whichever 
python3 you intend). This is why the "-m pip" form is recommended: it 
definitely installs in the Python you'd be running.
