I wonder if there are many people here who don't use some kind of "easyinstall" package for package management in their Python / virtualenv installations? I propose to include at least one such package that is capable to auto-update itself in Python 2.7 C:~env\Python27>python.exe -m easyinstall C:~env\Python27\python.exe: No module named easyinstall C:~env\Python27>python.exe -m pip C:~env\Python27\python.exe: No module named pip
It will not happen in 2.7, which is almost in beta phase. Based on previous discussions, it will most likely not happen in 3.2 either. The consensus is that setuptools, which both pip and easy_install depend on, should not be included into the core.
However, Tarek's work on "distutils2" (a mostly forward-compatible replacement for distutils) will include features such as dependencies, and make it much easier to create and perhaps bundle a pip-like utility. So perhaps in 3.3 you have a chance ;)
Regards
Antoine.
