If 'python' is 3, I'd expect 'pip' to be for 3, and 'pip2' for 2.

Ah! That makes a lot of sense. If Python 3 is the default, it does make sense 'pip' to be the Python 3 pip. That way 'pip' always refers to the default version.

Unfortunately in the Ubuntu and Mac world 'python' is still Python 2.7 and 'pip' refers to the Python 2 pip. Python 3 is available as 'python3' along with 'pip3'.
