Now I’m really confused — if pip is already bundled with Python, then what is ensurepip for ?!?! Or really, the question at hand: should a user starting from scratch with a python.org install of 3.7 run ensurepip? Or can they just go straight to: Python3 -m pip install —upgrade pip ?!? -CHB > from the docs "To > ensure the installed version of pip is *at least as recent as the one > bundled with ensurepip*, pass the --upgrade option" [emphasis mine]). > To get the latest available version, you should do `python -m pip > install --upgrade pip` (better than `pip install...` as it works on > Windows) as you mentioned. > > Paul -- Distutils-SIG mailing list -- distutils-sig@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to distutils-sig-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mm3/mailman3/lists/distutils-sig.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/mm3/archives/list/distutils-sig@python.org/message/XGQ7HMBNLSRG37IMIQ5WXAMEDS6UNLJW/
