Re: [Python-Dev] Backporting ensurepip to 2.7, Which commands to install?

Whoops, I misred. So to be clear, you think: install -> pip, pip2, pip2.7 altinstall -> pip2.7

That's not what I meant. Python 2.7 does install "python" unless you use altinstall.

That is copying the (alt)install targets of Python's own Makefile, and I think those are exactly right.

Right now by default pip (outside of the context of ensurepip) will install pip, pip2, and pip2.7 if installed in Python 2.7. In Python 3's ensurepip we modified it so that it would install pip3, and pip3.4, but *not* pip if it was an "install", and only pip3.4 if it was an "alt install".

My question is, does this behavior make sense for ensurepip in 2.7? Or should it also install the "pip" command if it is an "install"?
