However, I just noticed that the PEP *doesn't* currently specify the effect of running "python -m getpip" when pip is already installed. I believe it should attempt to upgrade pip, so that in the normal course of events (i.e. just installing CPython maintenance releases without manually upgrading pip), then pip will be automatically upgraded to the latest version each time CPython itself is updated.
TBH I just assumed it would say that pip is already bootstrapped, but I'm OK with making it upgrade as well. My thinking was if you already had pip then ``pip install --upgrade pip`` is easier but making the bootstrap upgrade too does mean that installing a maintenance release will upgrade your pip too which is kinda nice. ----------------- Donald Stufft PGP: 0x6E3CBCE93372DCFA // 7C6B 7C5D 5E2B 6356 A926 F04F 6E3C BCE9 3372 DCFA
