Instructions broke my pip :-(

Summary

I think the Mac development instructions broke my pip :-(

After I ran this:
pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt

pip3 stopped working:
Kyles-MacBook-Pro-3:plover mulka$ pip3
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/bin/pip3", line 7, in
from pip import main
ImportError: cannot import name 'main'

Reproducing

Plover Version

System

macOS High Sierra 10.13.6

The later versions of pip use a different main entry point, I assume you ended up installing a new pip in your user site, but because you still use the system launcher, the wrong entry point is being used. Update your PATH: use python3 -m site to get an idea of where your user site is. Alternatively, you can invoke pip with python3 -m pip.

I don't know what's the standard user site bin directory on macOS, using python -c 'from pip._internal.locations import bin_user; print(bin_user)' should print it. This directory should contain a working pip launcher.

I think for me it was /Users/mulka/Library/Python/3.6/bin. I added that to my path, and it seems to work now.

(to get that, I just just took the USER_BASE from the previous command and added /bin)

I'm curious why you guys aren't using a virtual environment.
