I am sending a patch to upgrade Python3 to 3.5, and I will include the pip3 change in it, currently pip3 is installed as pip, pip3 and pip3.5, so its just a matter of removing 'pip', to leave it available for pip2 and make it default when python2-pip is installed, it seems to be working correctly that way, just thought I'd let you know.

Cheers,

Alejandro

Hi Gary,

Just curious, does anyone know why OE-core has python3-pip

I think it has to do with pip being supplied as part of the standard python 3 distribution from 3.4 onwards. I think for simplicity's sake it might be
argued that python-pip could be in the same place though.
Yes, in fact, python3-pip was included on oe-core after the upgrade to python3.4 since it's now a requirement, I agree, we probably should include python-pip on oe-core too

Thanks, I'll consider sending a patch set for that.

Sadly, at this point, both packages can't be installed at the
same time as they both call the result "/usr/bin/pip".  Maybe
in keeping with the python/python3 naming, the python3 version
should be installed as pip3?

python3-pip recipe had to be created to avoid an issue with the default pip installation by python3.4, its now handled by distutils3, if its only a matter of changing the binary name afterwards from pip to pip3 I see no problem doing this, I am hoping this solves it, but just mentioning that we already had some issues with this, because of the "defaults"
python3 expects

In that case, we could rename the Python2 pip as pip2.  I think
they really need different names as they will be installing
packages into very different locations Python2 vs Python3.
