 install ``pip`` along with CPython itself.

+ensurepip
+---------
+
+The new :mod:`ensurepip` module is the primary infrastructure for the
+:pep:`453` implementation.  In the normal course of events end users will not
+need to interact with this module, but it can be used to manually bootstrap
+``pip`` if the automated bootstrapping into an installation or virtual
+environment was declined.
+
+:mod:`ensurepip` includes a bundled copy of ``pip``, up-to-date as of the first
+release candidate of the release of CPython with which it ships (this applies
+to both maintenance releases and feature releases).  ``ensurepip`` does not
+access the internet.  (If the installation has Internet access, it is of course
+possible to upgrade ``pip`` to a release more recent than the bundled ``pip``
+by using the bundled ``pip`` command itself once it is installed.)
+
+The module is named *ensure*\ pip because if called when ``pip`` is already
+installed, it does nothing.  It also has an ``--upgrade`` option that will
+cause it to install the bundled copy of ``pip`` if the existing installed
+version of ``pip`` is older than the bundled copy.
