These libraries help you with publishing and installing Python software.
While these modules are designed to work in conjunction with the
`Python Package Index <https://pypi.python.org>`__, they can also be used
with a local index server, or without any index server at all.

Implement PEP 477 - Backport ensurepip (PEP 453) to 2.7 * Backports ensurepip to the 2.7 branch * Backports some of the improved documentation to the 2.7 branch. * Adds a private backport of the 3.x mock library as test._mock_backport to enable saner testing of ensurepip. Key Differences from 3.x: * Ensurepip does not have any Makefile integration, specifically it is not ran by default in the Makefile. * There is no venv module in 2.7, so downstream distributors can completely disable ensurepip, ideally with a message redirecting to the correct way to install pip. * To match the ``python`` command in 2.7, ensurepip will install the unversioned ``pip`` command as well. * No-op and hide --default-pip and add --no-default-pip to restore the 3.x behavor on 2.7. 2014-11-11 11:24:11 -04:00			`***********************************`
