I think we need to flip the dependencies so that pip as the installer has all the essential code for installation from PyPI and then setuptools and distlib depend on that pip infrastructure. No need to add anything to the standard library prematurely when we can add it to pip instead.
- -1. That would effectively mean inlining the bulk of setuptools' code into pip (which is just a UI / policy shim over it). You might as well just have your bootstrapper install both pip and setuptools and be done Unless distlib (or something like it) lands in the stdlib with enough features to support a setuptools-less pip, of course.
