ensurepip does not access the network, by design. We do not want it to start access the network without a lot of discussion. And if it does access the network, it will need to be able to use alternate URLs. For example: where I deploy Python, it would not have access to the URLs in your PR, but instead would need to specify a different (internal) location. This is the same reason that pip install has --find-links, --no-index, --extra-index-url, etc. I think this would need a lot of discussion (probably on distutils-sig), and probably a PEP.
