We install all of our library dependencies via pip (for unit,
functional, and integration tests). New versions of pip require special
handling to install packages not hosted on PyPI, and that special
handling must be performed in every place where we have a dependency on
the package, which places an extra burden on us that we would prefer to
avoid.
