First, open an issue: https://ironpython.codeplex.com/WorkItem/Create, and send me your CodePlex username so I can add you to the project (after 2.7.5 everything will move to GitHub, but I'm using CP for one last release, for old times' sake) and you can edit/close issues. I've wanted to have pip working for quite a while now but just never found the time.[1] Honestly though, it should be pretty easy. ensurepip I've never looked at, so I don't know, but I can't imagine it being too difficult. Upstream on these projects is open to patches for IronPython support as well, so there shouldn't be any issues there. With ensurepip we could even distribute our own fork if we had to. >From what I recall the major issue with pip was making sure that it had with: blocks where needed, since parts of it implicitly relied on CPython's refcounting GC to close files deterministically. That may have been cleaned up over the years. Because of various things over the next month 2.7.5 probably won't land until June, so there should be lots of time to get pip/ensurepip ready. - Jeff [1] http://wondermark.com/729/ > > On 6 May 2014 09:37, Vernon D.
