I don't remember what the rationale was for having to type "python -m ensurepip" to get pip installed, but typing is just a library, not an executable tool that may be able to mess with the system state, so I don't think it's worthwhile introducing an extra step for it.
Yes, I agree. I didn't realise that "give me pip" was an extra step on Unix. I don't know what the arguments for doing it like that on Unix were, but they certainly don't seem to apply to typing.
It's the default on Unix as well - you have to do "make install ENSUREPIP=no" to avoid getting it. (And some distros also modify their Python installations so that pip is missing by default)
Oh, thank you. I stand corrected then :-) Regards Antoine.
