Paul Moore added the comment: It would not be impossible for the ensurepip call in the Windows installer to set the --default-pip flag, if that gives a better user experience on Windows.
I'm not wedded to either answer myself, but given that versioned executable names are uncommon on Windows, I can easily imagine a series of bug reports saying "I asked for pip to be installed, and it's not there". Making a deliberate decision one way or the other and documenting it seems like the minimum reasonable approach. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20139> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
