Title:
  python-3.4 package missing 'pip' module

Status in python3.4 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Ubuntu's python3.4 package does not include "pip" which, as of 3.4, is
  a standard, batteries-included feature, per PEP 453.

  Testing, from a clean install:

  1. sudo apt-get install -y python3.4
  2. python3 -c 'import pip'
  <error>
  3. sudo apt-get install -y python3-pip
  4. python3 -c 'import pip'
  <noerror>

  While we may disagree with their choice of package manager, failing to
  install a Python standard library is an unnecessary obstacle for users
  and the expectation of the presence of pip is widespread, see
