@ -136,24 +136,34 @@ The new :mod:`ensurepip` module (defined in :pep:`453`) provides a standard
cross-platform mechanism to boostrap the pip installer into Python
installations and virtual environments.
The :mod:`venv` module and the :command:`pyvenv` utility make use of this
module to make ``pip`` readily available in virtual environments. When
using the command line interface, ``pip`` is installed by default, while
for the module API installation of ``pip`` must be requested explicitly.
For CPython source builds on POSIX systems, the ``make install`` and
``make altinstall`` commands bootstrap ``pip`` by default. This behaviour
can be controlled through configure options, and overridden through
Makefile options.
On Windows, the CPython installer now offers the option to install ``pip``
along with CPython itself.
.. note::
Only the first phase of PEP 453 has been implemented at this point.
This section will be fleshed out with additional details once those
other changes are implemented.
The implementation of PEP 453 is still a work in progress. Refer to
:issue:`19347` for the progress on additional steps:
Refer to :issue:`19347` for the progress on additional steps:
* ``make install`` and ``make altinstall`` integration
* Windows installer integration
* Mac OS X installer integration
* :mod:`venv` module and :command:`pyvenv` integration
* Having the binary installers install ``pip`` by default
* Recommending the use of ``pip`` in the "Installing Python Module"
documentation.
