A shallow clone would minimize the bandwidth cost: $ git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv If all you need to do is bootstrap a latest pip and virtualenv, there's always get-pip.py? - Docs: https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/#installing-with-get-pip-py - Src: https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py $ python get-pip.py --user $ ~/.local/bin/pip install --user virtualenv virtualenvwrapper > > Paul > _______________________________________________ > Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org > https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig >
