            Bug ID: 265712
           Summary: devel/py-pip: python38 pip requires some additional
                    symlinks in /usr/local/bin
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: python@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: ports.maintainer@evilphi.com

             Flags: maintainer-feedback?(python@FreeBSD.org)

Running pip 22.2.2 as a regular user, pip crashes and dumps a traceback plus
this error:

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/local/bin/pip3'

This is what gets created by the Ports pkg:

$ ls -l /usr/local/bin/pip*
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel    7 Jun  9 19:14 /usr/local/bin/pip -> pip-3.8
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  949 Jun  9 19:14 /usr/local/bin/pip-3.8

Adding a pip3 -> pip-3.8 symlink solved that error, but then I got this error:

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/local/bin/pip3.8'

Adding a pip3.8 -> pip-3.8 as well makes pip work properly again.  The final
result:

$ ls -l /usr/local/bin/pip*
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel    7 Jun  9 19:14 /usr/local/bin/pip -> pip-3.8
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  949 Jun  9 19:14 /usr/local/bin/pip-3.8
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel    7 Aug  8 03:17 /usr/local/bin/pip3 -> pip-3.8
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel    7 Aug  8 03:18 /usr/local/bin/pip3.8 -> pip-3.8
