did you mean to post this to blfs-support rather than lfs-support ? In LFS the first build has --without-ensurepip so the second build should install it, and both will be for the same version. I don't think I have a system upgraded from 3.9 to 3.9.1 (been too busy working on systems with 3.9.1), but on the current system (3.9.1 in LFS, rebuilt in BLFS) in LFS it installed /usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/setuptools /usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/setuptools-49.2.1.* with /usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/setuptools/__init__.py and various /usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/setuptools/__pycache__/*.pyc and various other files in /usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/setuptools/ and its subdirectories. When I rebuilt it in BLFS it seems to have overwritten one or two of those files and added a load more. and the same for pip although the only identifier for pip i nthe rebuild seems to be cpython-39 whereas in LFS chapter 8 I see pip-20.2.3.dist-info. I'm willing to believe that upgrading minor versions of python might not upgrade pip and setuptools. But I'm not a pythonista, so I have to ask: does it matter ? If you do need to upgrade it (latest is now apparently v21.0.1, which dropped support for python2), according to https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/#upgrading-pip you can run python -m pip install -U pip (assuming you have python symlinked to python3, which will break seamonkey and qtwebengine out of packages in BLFS). Since you use a package manager, doing that as a regular user will install in ~/.local/bin but all it actually does is install pip, pip3, pip3.9. I conclude that setuptools will NOT be upgraded, and I will be surprised if pip, pip3 or pip3.9 ever change. ĸen -- Any attempt to brew coffee with a teapot should result in the error code "418 I'm a teapot".
