* ensuring that pip is automatically available in virtual environments created with pyvenv
Is the proposal here for pyvenv to download pip or to install a locally stored copy? Using a locally stored copy is what virtualenv does, and I'd prefer it to avoid issues where the user's PC has no internet access (as well as avoiding the need to worry about secure downloads and bundling certs, which was why virtualenv took this route).
Using a locally stored copy. I'm also considering a new trick for the import system (in the general vein of *.egg-link files) that would let us achieve that without copying, and perhaps even let us eventually deprecate *.pth files entirely. If that scheme comes to fruition it will be as an independent PEP, though. Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncoghlan@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia
