- -1. That would effectively mean inlining the bulk of setuptools' code into pip (which is just a UI / policy shim over it). You might as well just have your bootstrapper install both pip and setuptools and be done Unless distlib (or something like it) lands in the stdlib with enough features to support a setuptools-less pip, of course.
