To elaborate, Python might have been installed using an installer from 
python.org, from the Windows store, or in some other way.  "py" may only 
be available for a python.org installer.

In general, you would do best to always launch pip with the command

pythonx -m pip

where "pythonx" means the command that launches the version of python 
you want to work with.  This might be "py", "python3.11", "py -3.11", or 
something else, so use what you will be using on your system.
