- semi-extrinsic 11y agoPython >= 2.7.9 or >= 3.4 ships with pip installed by default. Those versions are more than a year old now. What are you running, Slackware or something?
- goldbrick 11y agoI would double check that if I was you. My Debian Jessie machine (from the official Vagrant box) reports Python 2.7.9. No pip.
- semi-extrinsic 11y agoStrange. This is from the official Python docs: "pip is the preferred installer program. Starting with Python 2.7.9, it is included by default with the Python binary installers." https://docs.python.org/2.7/installing/ https://docs.python.org/2.7/installing/
- goldbrick 11y agoMy thought would be that "binary installers" as such are considered distinct from distro-managed packages.
- txutxu 11y agoI've many Debian servers without nodejs _and_ without python. It requires conscious work as any other dependency, but it's possible (and convenient, if you don't depend on them). So more than probably, I'll not install npm, to test a bash wrapper to a perl script, that does something that git itself can do without external dependencies. But obviously, different persons have different concepts of the K.I.S.S. principle. Being a perl script... why the author didn't use CPAN? it's available in all vanilla installs of Debian, CentOS, Ubuntu, RedHat, etc...
