I'm updating some instructions for my students, in which the first thing I
do is have them run ensurepip:

$ python3 -m ensurepip --upgrade

which resulted in:

$  python3 -m ensurepip --upgrade
Looking in links:
/var/folders/ym/tj87fc850yd6526nbrn14rxm0000gn/T/tmpwc8nd6oj
Requirement already up-to-date: setuptools in
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/site-packages
(39.0.1)
Requirement already up-to-date: pip in
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/site-packages
(10.0.1)

(this is after a brand-new python 3.7 install on OS-X from python.org)

All good. But then I use pip, and get (after a successful install):

You are using pip version 10.0.1, however version 18.0 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.

Huh? shouldn't ensurepip have updated it for me already??

Or should I simply suggest the

pip install --upgrade pip

command and not bother with ensurepip anymore?

BTW -- shouldn't that be:

python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip

to make sure they get the "right" pip?

KInda hard to keep up with the latest ...

Thanks,

-CHB
