The reason why ensurepip is complaining on 3.8 (and it is) is that pip 19.3 was released on the same day as 3.8.0. Like any other part of CPython, it takes a while to stabilize ensurepip and I wouldn't update it for 3.8.0 at any point after RC1 was released unless it fixed a critical bug. Admittedly, it is a bit surprising to say the least to have pip outdated from Day 1. However, keep in mind that pip is a relatively fast-moving external project and it was a matter of time for ensurepip to go out of date. In fact, it's pretty much guaranteed to happen sooner or later. I wouldn't worry about it. - Ł
