Why does this package require `pip`?

Hi!

I can see this package and also fastai/ghapi both require pip. I have a big monorepo project with a lot of dependencies and these two are the only ones that require pip. Requiring pip means its version is now being locked in my monorepo's Poetry-created lock file. It also means every time there is a pip update I have to manually bump it in my lock file because I don't bump everything automatically. I use poetry lock --no-update in contrast to poetry lock. I'm not sure if locking pip is a standard approach. I may be wrong though. Is there a reason for requiring pip?

Thanks!
