I haven't actually tried your command line myself, but I suspect that
the final "command prompt" is actually the ensurepip step. You should be
able to stop that by disabling that particular feature. Off the top of
my head I don't know what the feature name is; I'll have to clone a 3.4
repo and check (the installer has changed substantially for 3.5).
