Well, if Ubuntu aren't offering an upgrade, you can do
pip install -i https://pypi.python.org/simple/ ...
Or install your own copy of pip/setuptools, I guess (get-pip --user,
see https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/#installing-with- ).get-pip-py

Does this upgrade system pip, regardless of the package checksums:
$ sudo pip install -i https://pypi.python.org/simple/ -U pip setuptools
If that doesn't work (or **isn't advisable because `sudo pip` is dangerous**),
you can also configure the index URL with a config file or an environment variable:
https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/user_guide/#config-file lists the paths for Windows, MacOS, and Linux.
/etc/pip.conf
~/.pip/pip.conf
$VIRTUAL_ENV/pip.conf
```
[global]
index-url = https://pypi.python.org/simple/
```
$ export PIP_INDEX_URL="https://pypi.python.org/simple/"
Setuptools (easy_install) uses ~/.pydistutils.cfg :
```
[easy_install]
index_url = https://pypi.python.org/simple/
```
Buildout uses buildout.cfg and ~/.buildout/default.cfg :
```
[buildout]
index = https://pypi.python.org/simple/
```

This URL also works as the -i/--index-url?
