This looks like a bit of a misunderstanding. Using executables called
``pip``, or ``python``, means "use whatever version of Python you have
set as default," which in some cases will be Python 2, but in other
cases Python 3. If you create your virtualenv or venv using Python
3.5, then running just ``pip`` or ``python`` with that venv activated
will indeed use Python 3.5.

Using ``pip3`` in the docs would be misleading, because it would
indicate that only Python 3 is supported, while you're free to choose
either Python 2 or Python 3 (at least for now).

Of course, many people (myself included) will recommend going with
Python 3, but 2.7 is still a valid choice.
