As someone who is stuck on a very old version of python (2.7) on win32 due to Reasons (vendors, basically), how I wish I could even try to install pip; unfortunately, it will only recommend upgrading to a newer version of python when I attempt. All roads seem to lead to this place, a one-size-fits-all dismissive "lol upgrade." Packaging is one of my least favorite things about the language I love the most.
