Can't update pip in cryptomator drive

[randomoOCoder]

Description

When trying to update pip in a venv inside of a fuse cryptomator drive (using "pip install -U pip"), I get the following errors: "ERROR: Failed to restore <path_to_venv>/lib/python3.12/site-packages/pip/",
then:
"ERROR: Could not install packages due to an OSError: [Errno 2] Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce nom: '<path_to_venv>/lib/python3.12/site-packages/pip/_internal/init.py'" (excuse the french, it translates to "no file or folder with this name").

After that pip stops working and <path_to_venv>/lib/python3.12/site-packages/pip is empty.

I assume this would happen in any fuse file system but am unsure how to test that. Although it may be a cryptomator specific problem.

Expected behavior

pip upgrades correctly and without errors even in a cryptomator drive

pip version

23.3.2 trying to upgrade to 24.2

Python version

3.12.7

OS

Fedora 40

How to Reproduce

1. Create venv in a cryptomator drive (python -m venv .venv)
2. Activate venv (. ./.venv/bin/activate.fish (since I use fish and not bash))
3. Upgrade pip (pip install -U pip)
4. run any pip command (Ex: pip --version)

Output

$ pip install -U pip

I don't think many pip maintainers are going to be familiar with "cryptomator", you're probably going to get better support by reaching out to peers or help forums, such as, Cryptomator Community, Python Discuss help category, /r/learnpython on reddit, Python Discord's #python-help channel, #python on Libera.chat (IRC), python-list or python-tutor mailing lists, or StackOverflow.

That's true but I still wanted to put it here if someone wants to fix it.
