[Bug 1506907] [NEW] No way to install pip for Python 3.4 in 15.10 Wily

 

Public bug reported:

It looks like 15.10 uses a mixture of Python 3.4 and 3.5 (hopefully
that's temporary?).  Pip, the python package manager, is available from
"python-pip" for Python 2.7, and "python3-pip" for Python 3.5, however,
there is no python3.4-pip, and because of the weird state of Python in
debian/ubuntu, there's no way to use "ensurepip" to get it either.

One fix would be to just ship a complete version of
python/python3.4/python3.5, including pip, as part of the base package,
if there's any appetite for revisiting the historical decision to
unbundle python...
