Terry, would you be open to overseeing the merge of a version that bootstrapped itself as follows: - IDLE gained a pip GUI launcher that, if the pip GUI was not importable, offered to install it from PyPI (always using a "--user" install if it doesn't detect an active virtual environment) - if the GUI was already importable, it would just launch it Then, pip-gui itself could just be a normal PyPI package, without any dependency vendoring, and without any specific coupling to the CPython release process.
