PIP Errors installing package when it's not in /usr/bin/php

[josev814]

Description

Installing python3.7 using apt on Debian 10/11. We also install other python3.7 versions using alt installs. Doing a pip3 install -U simplejson spits out an error that /usr/bin/pip doesn't exist. This is accurate, since it's installed in /usr/local/bin/pip. shutil.which reflects the correct path

Expected behavior

No response

pip version

21

Python version

3.7

OS

Debian 10

How to Reproduce

Install apt-get install python3.7-pip
Alt install python3.8+ to /usr/local/bin/
Upgrade pip to 22.2.1 (python3.7 -m pip install -U pip)
Install a package (python3.7 -m pip install sauna)
The output below is then shown

I confirm this is fixed for me since pip 22.3.
