fn needs_pip_provisioning() -> boolExpand description
UV writes Windows console scripts as a trampoline with a zip archive
appended. The trampoline runs python.exe <the .exe itself> and relies on
the interpreter executing that archive. CPython’s old C zipimport, used up
to and including 3.7, rejects it and falls back to parsing the executable as
source, so every console script in such an environment is unusable –
pytest, and origen itself. CPython 3.8 replaced zipimport with the
pure-Python implementation, which reads it correctly.
pip’s launchers are built differently and do work there, which is how this combination behaved before O2 moved to UV. Retire this path when O2 drops Python 3.7, or when UV’s launcher becomes readable by it.
