This has nothing at all to do with python or your PATH. Pip takes either a 
package name (from the repository) or a *path* to a package file. If you don't 
give it anything with a slash in it, it assumes you're giving it a package 
name, which it can't find. As Scott said and the doc implies, the './' is not 
just there to make you type more stuff.

Also as Scott said, having '.' in your PATH has been a self-imposed attack 
vector for *decades*.
