PEP 453 – Explicit bootstrapping of pip in Python installations | peps.python.org
The existing get-pip.py bootstrap script demonstrates an earlier variation of the general concept, but the standard library version would take advantage of the improved distribution capabilities offered by the CPython installers to include private copies of pip and setuptools as wheel files (rather than as embedded base64 encoded data), and would not try to contact PyPI (instead installing directly from the private wheel files).

ensurepip — Bootstrapping the pip installer
This bootstrapping approach reflects the fact that pip is an independent project with its own release cycle, and the latest available stable version is bundled with maintenance and feature releases of the CPython reference interpreter. In most cases, end users of Python shouldn’t need to invoke this module directly (as pip should be bootstrapped by default), but it may be needed if installing pip was skipped when installing Python (or when creating a virtual environment) or after explicitly uninstalling pip.

Installing with source
Go to this link: https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
Copy the contents of this file onto another new file and save it as get-pip.py (when it asks you what you want to do with the file, click Save, then copy the contents of the file onto another new file), and open your Windows Command Prompt as an admin and go to the file path and then enter (you need Internet for this) the following command,
python get-pip.py install
For help on installing with different operating systems
Refer to this link: http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/installing.html

r/learnpython on Reddit: Is running this random script from bootstrap.pypa.io really the accepted way of installing pip?
December 4, 2024 -
I'm relatively new to using Python on Windows, and the first hurdle for me is that pip is not installed with Python 3.13.1 for Windows. Several tutorials suggest installing with the following script: https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
Call me over-cautious but it seems shady as hell to be told 'just download and run this impenetrable script from a website you've never heard of and it will solve your problem'.
Is this really the legit, accepted way of installing pip on Windows?
EDIT:
Turns out pip was installed and I just needed a reboot. TIL.

the first hurdle for me is that pip is not installed with Python 3.13.1 for Windows Yes it is. But by default the pip command is not available from the command line until you activate a virtual environment. You can get around this by using the py -m command, eg py -m pip install pillow But yes, that script is legit, for the very rare cases when pip is not included.

Bootstrapping a specific version of pip - Packaging - Discussions on Python.org
December 2, 2021 - Hi, I’m a developer for the Spack package manager. Spack is a general-purpose package manager, similar to Conda in the sense that it can build both Python and non-Python libraries. In the past, our Python library installation procedure was basically: $ python setup.py build $ python setup.py install --root=... This made it easy to install libraries like setuptools/wheel/pip without having to rely on an existing pip installation.
