#18100 PyOxidizer ignored python.pip_version Issue created by cburroughs Describe the bug Some config sippets

[python]
pip_version = "22.3"

[pyoxidizer]
interpreter_constraints = ["CPython==3.9.*"]

But when I poke in the sandbox I see

$ /tmp/pants-sandbox-xKFXVz/.cache/pyoxidizer/python_distributions/python.1c490d71269e/python/install/bin/python3.9 -m pip --version
pip 21.2.4 from /tmp/pants-sandbox-xKFXVz/.cache/pyoxidizer/python_distributions/python.1c490d71269e/python/install/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pip (python 3.9)

Pants version 2.16.0.dev5 OS Linux Additional info I tripped on this because after it was running for ~20 minutes (which is probably longer than it takes to compile CPython) so I decided to figure our what

./pants package

was doing, and it turned out to be

pip

pegging a core:

ecsb     17442 94.3  0.3 138260 121068 ?       R    09:30  30:52 /tmp/pants-sandbox-xKFXVz/.cache/pyoxidizer/python_distributions/python.1c490d71269e/python/install/bin/python3.9 -m pip --disable-pip-version-check install --target /tmp/pyoxidizer-pip-installXrTk0h/install feast_demo-0.0.1-py3-none-any.whl

My naive expectation was that the

python.pip_version

setting would be used. I suppose there might be a case where a

pyoxidizer.pip_version

settings might be needed. Presumably tangled up with #14619 and #14734 pantsbuild/pants
