ensurepip in Python 2.7
Hey all, The next 2.7 release is coming up in a few weeks, and work is still needed on getting the SSL infrastructure updated. That release will likely also be the first one with Steve Dower at the helm for the creation of the Windows installers. Accordingly, I think it makes sense to leave proposing backporting ensurepip until 2.7.8 in November at the earliest. (Fortunately, there's no pyvenv in 2.7, so unbundling for the Linux distros is much simpler) Cheers, Nick.
If I can get everything to build, that is... :-\ (it's not too bad - just the 64-bit installer giving me trouble, and Martin's helping out. 2.7.7's installer may be late...) On the bright side, Microsoft has apparently decided that building Python installers for Windows makes good business sense, so they're fully supportive. (Or maybe they just know it's a good way to keep me there for longer ;) ) Cheers, Steve Top-posted from my Windows Phone ________________________________ From: Nick Coghlanmailto:ncoghlan@gmail.com Sent: 5/2/2014 22:01 To: DistUtils mailing list mailto:distutils-sig@python.org Subject: [Distutils] ensurepip in Python 2.7 Hey all, The next 2.7 release is coming up in a few weeks, and work is still needed on getting the SSL infrastructure updated.

And just as I post that, I figure it out. Guess I will be doing the next build.

On the bright side, Microsoft has apparently decided that building Python
installers for Windows makes good business sense, so they're fully supportive. (Or maybe they just know it's a good way to keep me there for longer ;) ) Either way, it's great news for us :) Cheers, Nick.
