New submission from Axel Luttgens:
Relevant page:
https://docs.python.org/2/library/ensurepip.html
One may read:
In most cases, end users of Python shouldn’t need to invoke
this module directly (as pip should be bootstrapped by default),
but it may be needed if installing pip was skipped when
installing Python (or when creating a virtual environment) or
after explicitly uninstalling pip.
As far as I correctly read the configure file that comes with the 2.7.11
tarball, the default is to behave as if --with-ensurepip=no had been passed.
As a result, that sentence fragment:
(as pip should be bootstrapped by default)
may appear somewhat ambiguous for those compiling Python themselves.
Perhaps could this one avoid some head scratching:
(as packagers are expected to have bootstrapped pip)
HTH,
Axel
