[Failing Test]: Python Github actions tests are failing due to update of pip

[AnandInguva]

What happened?

Pip was updated to 23.3 on October 15th https://pypi.org/project/pip/#history and there are some failures observed in the Python test suites in GitHub actions that use pip 23.3. If multiple virtual environments are installing the same package at the same time one of them can/will fail with a cache error similar to the one below.

For example, https://github.com/apache/beam/actions/runs/6538469207/job/17754466856?pr=29016 and https://github.com/apache/beam/actions/runs/6538469213/job/17754476104?pr=29016

Related issued I found on pypa/pip: pypa/pip#12361.
