Sorry Chris, that's not making sense? Do you mean ensurepip
installs setuptools on every install? How does it do that if
I don't have the internet connected? Does it wait for
a connection then automatically do a download?

How would I tell if it is installed? Where do I look and
for what? Because its not where I thought it would be
- (in the libs)...
