The name, location and behavior of\r\n# this function is subject to change, so calling it directly is not\r\n# portable across different pip versions.\r\n\r\n# In addition, running pip in-process is unsupported and unsafe. This is\r\n# elaborated in detail at\r\n# https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/user_guide/#using-pip-from-your-program.\r\n# That document also provides suggestions that should work for nearly\r\n# all users that are considering importing and using main() directly.\r\n\r\n# However, we know that certain users will still want to invoke pip\r\n# in-process. If you understand and accept the implications of using pip\r\n# in an unsupported manner, the best approach is to use runpy to avoid\r\n# depending on the exact location of this entry point.\r\n\r\n# The following example shows how to use runpy to invoke pip in that\r\n# case:\r\n#\r\n#     sys.argv = [\"pip\", your, args, here]\r\n#     runpy.run_module(\"pip\", run_name=\"__main__\")\r\n#\r\n# Note that this will exit the process after running, unlike a direct\r\n# call to main. As it is not safe to do any processing after calling\r\n# main, this should not be an issue in practice.\r\n```", "reactions": "{\"total_count\": 0, \"+1\": 0, \"-1\": 0, \"laugh\": 0, \"hooray\": 0, \"confused\": 0, \"heart\": 0, \"rocket\": 0, \"eyes\": 0}", "issue": {"value": 677272618, "label": "Test failures caused by failed attempts to mock pip"}, "performed_via_github_app": null}
