We've updated PEP453 based on some of the early feedback we've gotten from -dev and Martin.

Major changes: * Removal of the option to fetch pip from PyPI in order not to modify the trust model of the Python installers * Consequently rename the model from getpip to extractpip

"ensurepip" ?

What happens if there is already a higher pip version installed? I suppose "extractpip" doesn't do anything in that case?

(sorry, perhaps it's mentioned in the PEP and I haven't seen it. The PEP has become so long that I've only skimmed through it.)

Regards

Antoine.
