This changes the main documentation, doc strings, source code comments, and a
couple error messages in the test suite. In some cases the word was removed
to fix the grammar.
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).
* Backports ensurepip to the 2.7 branch
* Backports some of the improved documentation to the 2.7 branch.
* Adds a private backport of the 3.x mock library as test._mock_backport
to enable saner testing of ensurepip.
Key Differences from 3.x:
* Ensurepip does not have any Makefile integration, specifically
it is not ran by default in the Makefile.
* There is no venv module in 2.7, so downstream distributors can
completely disable ensurepip, ideally with a message redirecting
to the correct way to install pip.
* To match the ``python`` command in 2.7, ensurepip will install
the unversioned ``pip`` command as well.
* No-op and hide --default-pip and add --no-default-pip to restore
the 3.x behavor on 2.7.
