I always force myself to do this too. The only 3rd party python library I regularly use is "requests" basically —a dependency that comes with its own baggage, see the recent controversy about "chardet"— but I go out of my way to grab it from pip instead installing it via pip. :-)

Something like this:

    try:
        import requests
    except ImportError:
        from pip._vendor import requests
