thank you P.B. Lecavalier!
I greatly appreciate your response!
Perhaps this can guide the cygwin packaging in te future
I was missing ` python-setuptools-wheel` but I had installed the `

Now I have success
$ python3 -m ensurepip
Looking in links: /tmp/tmpy457n2k6
Requirement already satisfied: setuptools in
/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages (75.8.0)
Requirement already satisfied: pip in
/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages (25.0.1)
