Subject: [PATCH] Drop the example based on using pip's internals (#519)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

pip's documentation explicitly states to not use `import pip`:

> While it is implemented in Python, and so is available from your Python code via
> `import pip`, you must not use pip’s internal APIs in this way.

This example is in direct contradiction with the documentation's guidance and, thus, has
been removed.
