Many times I have to follow this tutorial to run get-pip.py to be able to install pip.

Hi @Dave_coupling, when you install Python, pip should come with it. For example, in my installation of Python, pip is found @ /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip. Technically, from a command line, you can run

python /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip/__main.py

or just

pip

Depending on how your $PATH is setup. An OS agnostic way to find out where Python is installed would to open the Python executable you referenced above and try:

>>> import os
>>> import sys
>>> os.path.dirname(sys.executable)

Let me know how things go

I got this working finally, but its extremely un-intuitive and difficult. Not sure worth the effort for the security feature.
