TBH I just assumed it would say that pip is already bootstrapped, but I'm OK with making it upgrade as well. My thinking was if you already had pip then ``pip install --upgrade pip`` is easier but making the bootstrap upgrade too does mean that installing a maintenance release will upgrade your pip too which is kinda nice. ----------------- Donald Stufft PGP: 0x6E3CBCE93372DCFA // 7C6B 7C5D 5E2B 6356 A926 F04F 6E3C BCE9 3372 DCFA
