I normally do not use python, but needed it now. So I installed python 3.9 (on Ubuntu/WSL2 subsystem on Windows 10).
I need pip to. I thought it should be there by default (but it was not there):
Starting with Python 3.4, it is included by default with the Python binary installers. (https://docs.python.org/3/installing/index.html)
So I went on to the next page (https://packaging.python.org/tutorials/installing-packages/). It told me to do
python -m ensurepip --default-pip
This did not work either. So I tested next instructions:
sudo wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
sudo python get-pip.py
This failed with
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils.command'
Am I doing something wrong? Or is there a bug somewhere?
