By default, the option to install pip is enabled. It's implemented by
executing ensurepip after the interpreter is installed. However,
ensurepip may silently fail during installation. As a CPython triager
I've come across this problem a couple of times, but it should be
rare. It can possibly be resolved by manually executing ensurepip via
the following command:
py [-3[.X]] -m ensurepip --default-pip --upgrade --verbose
If Python is installed for all users, the latter should be executed
from a shell that has administrator access. Even if this command also
fails, the verbose output in the console may be helpful to further
diagnose the problem.
