Hi Gary,

Just curious, does anyone know why OE-core has python3-pip

I think it has to do with pip being supplied as part of the standard python 3
distribution from 3.4 onwards. I think for simplicity's sake it might be
argued that python-pip could be in the same place though.
Yes, in fact, python3-pip was included on oe-core after the upgrade to python3.4 since it's now a requirement, I agree, we probably should include python-pip on oe-core too

Thanks, I'll consider sending a patch set for that.

Sadly, at this point, both packages can't be installed at the
same time as they both call the result "/usr/bin/pip".  Maybe
in keeping with the python/python3 naming, the python3 version
should be installed as pip3?

python3-pip recipe had to be created to avoid an issue with the default pip installation by python3.4, its now handled by distutils3, if its only a matter of changing the binary name afterwards from pip to pip3 I see no problem doing this, I am hoping this solves it, but just mentioning that we already had some issues with this, because of the "defaults" python3 expects
