[New-bugs-announce] [issue36608] Replace bundled pip and setuptools with a downloader in the ensurepip module

[Sviatoslav Sydorenko]

New submission from Sviatoslav Sydorenko <svyatoslav at sydorenko.org.ua>:

Hi,

I've noticed that there's an idea to not pollute Git tree with vendored blobs. In particular, `ensurepip` is one of the components doing this.

Such a wish was expressed here: https://bugs.python.org/issue35277#msg330098

So I thought I'd take a stab at it...
