Question

birdseye allows you to install using a pip that does not match your python

Download python 2 and 3
Make sure "python" references python 2.
Set pip to reference python 3 pip.
Launch vscode birdseye - it brings up installation prompt
click on install - it installs and says install sucessful
Close and reopen birdseye - it brings up same installation prompt.

At step 5 it should warn that the version of python being used does not match the version of pip being used.

I don't see this as a common scenario so this is a low-priority bug. (Also you can just install manually). If you run into this please comment below so I can recognize it as higher priority.

Instead of the pip command, use python -m pip.

Good idea! That would solve another problem too in that the user may not have pip in their path.
