How to specify the pip version?

Please add the possibility to specify the pip version in the readme. It seems that newer versions (22.0.1>) break compatibility:

github.com/readthedocs/readthedocs.org

Builds failing since pip update to 22.0 and 22.0.1

## Description Hi there, I'm one of the maintainers for Qtile (https://www….github.com/qtile/qtile). I've noticed that our docs (hosted by ReadTheDocs) have begun failing to build. The error message is: ``` ERROR: Exception: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/docs/checkouts/readthedocs.org/user_builds/qtile/envs/3274/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pip/_internal/cli/base_command.py", line 165, in exc_logging_wrapper status = run_func(*args) File "/home/docs/checkouts/readthedocs.org/user_builds/qtile/envs/3274/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pip/_internal/cli/req_command.py", line 205, in wrapper return func(self, options, args) File "/home/docs/checkouts/readthedocs.org/user_builds/qtile/envs/3274/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pip/_internal/commands/install.py", line 389, in run to_install = resolver.get_installation_order(requirement_set) File "/home/docs/checkouts/readthedocs.org/user_builds/qtile/envs/3274/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pip/_internal/resolution/resolvelib/resolver.py", line 190, in get_installation_order expected_node_count=len(self._result.mapping) + 1, File "/home/docs/checkouts/readthedocs.org/user_builds/qtile/envs/3274/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pip/_internal/resolution/resolvelib/resolver.py", line 276, in get_topological_weights assert len(weights) == expected_node_count AssertionError ```` The first failure (https://readthedocs.org/projects/qtile/builds/15928125/) was the first build following the release of 22.0. The most recent failure (https://readthedocs.org/projects/qtile/builds/15931046/) also fails on 22.0.1. ## Expected behavior Documents should build successfully. I'm not aware of any other changes that would have impacted the building of our docs. Would appreciate any support here. I believe this is a `pip` issue, so I've posted an issue on their page too: https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/10851

As an example, it could look like this:

---
python_version: 3.8.9
pip_version: 21.3.1
---
