Thanks so much for the contribution, it's a great start.

It looks like there are some problems with the pip upgrade, as if I use image built from these changes to run st2-packages and build. It then fails when it runs:
/usr/bin/python3 ../scripts/fixate-requirements.py -s in-requirements.txt -f ../fixed-requirements.txt

which looks to be because of the change in pip - the newer pip doesn't work with our fixate-requirements.py:

[bdist: st2api]      /usr/bin/python3 ../scripts/fixate-requirements.py -s in-requirements.txt -f ../fixed-requirements.txt
[bdist: st2api]      Traceback (most recent call last):
[bdist: st2api]        File "../scripts/fixate-requirements.py", line 213, in <module>
[bdist: st2api]          skip=skip)
[bdist: st2api]        File "../scripts/fixate-requirements.py", line 144, in write_requirements
[bdist: st2api]          requirements = merge_source_requirements(sources)
[bdist: st2api]        File "../scripts/fixate-requirements.py", line 121, in merge_source_requirements
[bdist: st2api]          if req.req:
[bdist: st2api]      AttributeError: 'ParsedRequirement' object has no attribute 'req'
[bdist: st2api]      make: *** [.stamp-requirements] Error 1

I'm not sure whether this means that to be able to upgrade pip we need to amend the fixate-requirements.py or if there is a way to use newer pip for the virtualenvs but still use the older pip for this part. Need some advice from others that know more about the buliding process.

As @amanda11 identified, the pip/virtualenv upgrades might be more involved, your work is proceeding here StackStorm/st2#5123 and #98.

Thanks @kroustou for starting this story!

Thank you very much for your hard work

@kroustou I think this has been superseded by changes committed to master under PR #98
