The backport of ensurepip to 2.7.9 allows pip to optionally be installed
or upgraded using the bundled pip provided by the new ensurepip module.
The option can be specified persistently using the configure option:
./configure --with-ensurepip[=upgrade|install|no]
It can also be overridden on either the "install" or "altinstall" targets:
make [alt]install ENSUREPIP=[upgrade|install|no]
For Python 2, the default option is "no" (do not install pip).
environment variable, to provide an opt-in way to protect against denial of
service attacks due to hash collisions within the dict and set types. Patch
by David Malcolm, based on work by Victor Stinner.
Apart from adding a section to describe the user scheme, this changeset
also does some much needed cleanup:
- fixed inverted reST targets
- fixed some paths
- avoided duplicating the same options listing five or six times
- added missing entries for C headers locations
- added documentation for --install-lib
- fixed a few misuses of the option role (see #9312), but not all (not
worth the time, but will do it in packaging docs)
- fixed some markup
The paths fixes were done with an eye on the source code in the install
command, so they really describe what’s actually done. The situation on
Mac OS X is rather messy: the fix for #8084 touched site and sysconfig,
but distutils does not use these files anymore since the Great Revert.
I suspect we have a mismatched stdlib at the moment, and the fix is not
even clear (see discussion on #8084).
