I'm sort of interested in this, but as far as I've been able to work out, it's only available on Windows 8 and later. As I'm still on Windows 7, that means I have limited opportunity to investigate. And as you noted yourself, the whole environment seems to be expressed in terms that don't make a huge amount of sense to outsiders (I'm not completely clear on what a "Provider" might be, and what would be involved in pip being one, if it's not already...) So basically, until it's available on Windows 7 and there's a bit more accessible documentation, I'm not likely to do anything about this. But it would be good to hear how things are going, certainly).
