[Python-modules-team] It seems pip -I is enabled by default?

[Matti Picus]

We recently changed the directory layout of NumPy for release 1.16, 
which means that users must uninstall previous versions before 
upgrading. However it seems the python-pip package enables -I (ignore) 
by default[0]. Is there any way to get this behaviour returned to the 
pypa default? I see numerous reports [1,2] by users tripped up by this.
