Check if the pip module is present, the binary is both not used and unimportant.
Is it your intention then that a README.md update at some point will indicate that "There will never be a pip
filesystem command installed in a python_virtualenv
... and all pip
commands must be done via either python_package
or python_execute
(using a command of -m pip <pip_command_here> <pip_options_here>
)" ?
This is standard usage for pip
these days. The PyPA team has actually debated removing the binary because of how error prone it is compared to -m pip
. I doubt that will actually happen for compat reasons but certainly never use it anymore.
I can appreciate discussion of future change, but all of our developers without exception still expect 'pip' to exist, so I respectfully disagree with your opinion that "the binary is both not used and unimportant".
Sorry, I meant specifically to the cookbook the binary is unimportant. It should be installed and visible normally modulo what provider you're using.
