> How can I safely install python-pip?

pip searches and installs software from the PyPi repository, which
contains proprietary software.  According to the Free System
Distribution Guidelines:

"The system should have no repositories for nonfree software and no
specific recipes for installation of particular nonfree programs. Nor
should the distribution refer to third-party repositories that are not
committed to only including free software"

As an FSF-endorsed distro, Trisquel follows the FSDG, so we cannot
include pip in our repositories.

What do you need it for?  Perhaps a workaround is possible.
