Especially since the interactive Python interpreter is also a shell prompt. The title of an IDLE window on my system is "Python 3.5.2 Shell" ;-). I'd suggest the terminology "system command prompt" to refer to... that thing that you should type 'pip' into. Even if users don't know exactly what it means, indicating that they're running something in the wrong place gives them a better chance of working out what to do.
