Research direction
Start with the macOS pipenv virtual-environments section at the linked Python Guide URL and reproduce the documented commands in Catalina's default ZSH shell. Check the reported pip command and the contrast with Bash and Homebrew; done means the guide explains or resolves the missing pip alias for new macOS users.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Mac Catalina uses ZSH by default. Which is what you'll get if you buy a new Mac.
If you follow the guide, https://docs.python-guide.org/starting/install3/osx/#pipenv-virtual-environments, at the end, if you just run "pip" in your terminal, it will not be found.
After I changed the default terminal to bash, and reinstalled python with brew, then running "pip --version" gives pip version 3 as expected.
