title: I keep getting a message to upgrade pip
body: <p>Whenever I create a venv, I get a message asking me to upgrade pip. I run the command for upgrade, and it pops up again on another venv. How can I make this permanent.</p>
  <p>Message:</p>
  <pre><code>You are using pip version 9.0.1, however version 18.0 is available.
  You should consider upgrading via the 'python -m pip install --upgrade pip' command.
  </code></pre>
  <p>Update:
  Just received recommendation to read this possible duplicate answer: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47059647/virtualenv-use-upgraded-system-default-pip">virtualenv use upgraded system default pip</a></p>
  <p>This does not solve my issue though. Why?</p>
  <p>My <code>pip3</code> appears to already be up to date:</p>
  <pre><code>C:\Users\mkupfer\Python-Sandbox\sibc-python-scripts&gt;pip --version
  pip 18.0 from c:\users\mkupfer\appdata\local\programs\python\python36-32\lib\sit
  e-packages\pip (python 3.6)
  
  C:\Users\mkupfer\Python-Sandbox\sibc-python-scripts&gt;pip3 --version
  pip 18.0 from c:\users\mkupfer\appdata\local\programs\python\python36-32\lib\sit
  e-packages\pip (python 3.6)
  
  C:\Users\mkupfer\Python-Sandbox\sibc-python-scripts&gt;pip3 install --upgrade pip
  Requirement already up-to-date: pip in c:\users\mkupfer\appdata\local\programs\p
  ython\python36-32\lib\site-packages (18.0)
  </code></pre>

  <h1>Solved</h1>
  <p>Solution: I was able to fix this altogether by using <code>virtualenv</code> to create a new virtual environment. Not sure if this is a bug in <code>venv</code>. I'll just use the package that works going forward. Thanks @James Lim for the answer.</p>
