- general: update pip first, so we definitely have pip version 19+
- MPI build: only build itself from source
- syntax: use pip as python(3) module

I usually add the python3 -m part of the command to make sure I am installing for the correct python version and I am thinking you did it too. Your change here helps to confirm that we use Python 3.5 - 3.7 as explained in the build dependencies entry of your documentation, which is very nice!

Yes, exactly. As far as I know it's also the recommend way to use pip these days.

Ok, we found a work-around for your problem which is unrelated to the instructions herein for now: #593 (comment)
