Thanks for confirming that the answer worked. One thing to note: this
incantation doesn't just remove the aesthetic nuisance of a "DOS Box"
appearing. It actually prevents pip from being installed. This isn't
necessarily a problem; you might not want it installed, and there are
several ways of getting it there after the fact. But you need to be
aware that this is the effect.
