Pip is a repo.


Not in the same light as preconfigured repos in Ubuntu et al.

I don’t think pip is even installed by default under most distributions, and Iirc some actively discourage its use. It’s also Supply chain insecure when compared to trusted repos.

But congratulations on catching the technicality!
