pip installs itself and setup tools

What you need to do

(Update 2021-02-08): Everything has been merged to master!

    $ cargo install --git https://github.com/RustPython/RustPython --features ssl # or however you build
    $ curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -O
    $ rustpython get-pip.py
    ...lots of work...
    $ rustpython -m pip --version
    pip 21.0 from /home/.../.local/lib/rustpython3.9/site-packages/pip (python 3.9)

There’s undoubtedly still a lot that doesn’t work, so if there’s something simple-ish that errors inside of pip or a setup script, feel free to open an issue for it (note that C extensions won’t be supported anytime soon, and a ctypes implementation is in progress).

(Previous instructions):

This update is so fresh, things are not merged into the master or release branches yet. For now, to test this out, you have to checkout the pip-merg branch, and make sure to build with the ssl feature:

    $ cd RustPython
    $ git fetch --all
    $ git checkout pip-merg
    $ cargo install --path . --features ssl
    $ curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -O
    $ rustpython get-pip.py
    ...lots of work...
    $ rustpython -m pip --version
    pip 21.0 from /home/.../.local/lib/rustpython3.9/site-packages/pip (python 3.9)
