The combination of: pip install package python -m venv already works in most cases, *except* apparently the critical one of "New Python user on Windows downloads the python.org installer and clicks through all the buttons without changing any settings". So I think the main near term step forward would be to convince Steve Dower (as the Windows installer maintainer) to change that default behaviour yet again for 3.7, and then work towards coming up with a solid environment troubleshooting guide to include on packaging.python.org.
