By Vasudev Ram


In Python 2.7.9, pip (the Python package installer tool) will now be installed automatically.

Read it via a tweet and then verified it via this link:

    Unfortunately the version bundled has at least these hugs if not more:

    - cis files on windows don't work, installing a package from \\computer\directory\package will fail

    - symbolic links in install target or /tmp locations, which seem to be prevalent on macos, result in incomplete installations when building binary modules

    So you need to upgrade pip asap from the stock version: pip install --upgrade pip

    Thanks for the info. I actually thought of doing that, and did it (the upgrade), though not for the reason you said. Anyway, good to know.
