Update:  python3-pip is not included in latest Tails release


I was doing some more testing and noticed that its not included anymore as of the latest release. Not exactly sure what in the building process removed it.

When typing `pip`, `pip install <package>` returns bash not found and `which pip` returns nothing.

`apt list --installed |grep python3-pip` returns nothing.

Python3-pip should be added back next release and with a global config to torify it by default. There are many nice python tools not included with tails that users may like to install. Also pip seems like a easy way to test different python tools for use and possible integration onto tails.

A persistent storage feature for user installed python packages could also be designed to be a hook that adds the appropriate corresponding .local folders to the persistence.conf upon activation of the feature.
