When +using the command line interface, ``pip`` is installed by default, while +for the module API installation of ``pip`` must be requested explicitly. + +For CPython source builds on POSIX systems, the ``make install`` and +``make altinstall`` commands bootstrap ``pip`` by default. This behaviour +can be controlled through configure options, and overridden through +Makefile options. - Only the first phase of PEP 453 has been implemented at this point. - This section will be fleshed out with additional details once those - other changes are implemented. +On Windows, the CPython installer now offers the option to install ``pip`` +along with CPython itself. + +.. note:: - Refer to :issue:`19347` for the progress on additional steps: + The implementation of PEP 453 is still a work in progress.
