apt-get install ... python3-pip should install pip3 as /usr/local/bin/pip:

$ pip -V
pip 9.0.1 from /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/pip-9.0.1-py3.5.egg (python 3.5)

It's all something of a crapshoot honestly...

Probably a non-issue anyway. Uninstalling gunicorn with pip failed for me obviously, but I continued to install it again with pip3 and it was all fine.
