# A possible option is to install `pip` into the virtualenv created by poetry

# (`poetry add pip`), but it turns out that doesn't always work :( for the test

# poetry/requests-3, I was not allowed to install pip! So I did not pursue this

# option further.

# Instead, testing `site.getsitepackages()` contains has the right path, whereas

# `site.getusersitepackages()` is about the system python (very confusing).

# We can't use the environment variable POETRY_VIRTUALENVS_OPTIONS_NO_PIP because it

# does not work, see https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry/issues/5906
