"pip is being invoked by an old script wrapper"

[user02]

A fresh install of the offline, single component "Intel Distribution for Python for Linux" installer (l_pythoni37_oneapi_p_2021.1.1.44_offline.sh) creates a whiny pip.

WARNING: pip is being invoked by an old script wrapper. This will fail in a future version of pip.
Please see https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/5599 for advice on fixing the underlying issue.
To avoid this problem you can invoke Python with '-m pip' instead of running pip directly.
sdc 0.37.0 has requirement numba<0.52,>=0.51.2, but you have numba 0.51.2-dppy0.10.1rc1-0.gb5af1f5d9.dirty.

Note that upgrading pip does clear the warning:

> pip install --upgrade pip

Hopefully, the next release of the Intel Python installer will include the newer pip.
