pip stops waiting for python

[snippsat]

Do this,make a virtual environment and see if that work.
I use cmder he, but commands are just the same in cmd.

#  Make
C:\code
λ python -m venv test_env

# Cd in
C:\code
λ cd test_env\

# Activate
C:\code\test_env
λ C:\code\test_env\Scripts\activate.bat

# Test pip
C:\code\test_env
(test_env) λ pip -V
pip 23.1.2 from C:\code\test_env\Lib\site-packages\pip (python 3.11) 

As you see now run pip from this folder and not using OS Python.
So can look at option if it works like this.
