Description

When running the tests on macOS on Python (3.6, 3.7.0b2 but not 2.7), I see this failure.

The failure doesn't happen on Linux, so I presume the issue is isolated to macOS (or maybe something about my environment).

Start by running test_pip_upgrade_from_source on macOS with Python 3.6 or 3.7, comparing the failure linked in the issue with behavior on Linux and Python 2.7. Trace the FileNotFoundError from the test and use the linked gist for its exact context. Done means the test passes on the affected macOS Python versions without regressing the reported working environments.
