You've never attempted to upgrade pip that I can see. You
were invited to do so

html but apparently didn't bother.
Kindest regards.

I apologize. I wrote it up, with the traceback, but the group had moved
on and I decided not to send it.
Unfortunately I deleted that message and now I no longer have a pip to
run
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
So I can't make another traceback. But the upgrade attempt did uninstall
the old pip, which is why I don't have one now, and it died trying to
install Visual Studio 2015.
Here's an experiment I performed:
C:\Python34\Scripts contained the files "pip.exe", "pip3.4.exe" and
"pip3.exe". I deleted them.
C:\Python34\Lib\site-packages contained the folders "pip" and
"pip-9.0.1.dist-info". I deleted them too.
OK, so starting from that state, I download pip:
C:\Python34>python -m ensurepip
Ignoring indexes: https://pypi.python.org/simple/
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): setuptools in
c:\python34\lib\site-packages

C:\Python34>scripts\pip3.4 -V
pip 1.5.4 from C:\Python34\lib\site-packages (python 3.4)
I now have pip, but it's not the latest version.
C:\Python34>python -m pip install --upgrade pip

And at no point did it ask for a compiler.
