Current evaluation

Closed as expected behavior. Python 3.6 on Ubuntu 18.04 forced pip to install an older compatible version due to dependency constraints. Resolved after the user upgraded to Ubuntu Focal with Python 3.7+.

Issue body

I need to run charmcraft in docker, therefore snap isn't really an option. (even lxd will be problematic but at least I have `--destructive-mode`) But I just noticed that `pip install charmcraft` installs a totally prehistoric version. Is the pip version truly deprecated? What is the plan here? Thanks Tilman
