How to install pip in CentOS 7

Question

CentOS 7 EPEL now includes Python 3 4  yum install python34  However  when I try that  even though Python 3 4 installs successfully  it doesn t appear to install pip  Which is weird  because pip should be included by default with Python 3 4  which pip3 doesn t find anything  nor does which pip    How do I access pip from the Python 3 4 package in CentOS 7 EPEL release

There is a easy way of doing this by just using easy_install (A Setuptools to package python librarie).

Assumption. Before doing this check whether you have python installed into your Centos machine (at least 2.x).
Steps to install pip.
1. So lets do install easy_install,
  
  sudo yum install python-setuptools python-setuptools-devel
2. Now lets do pip with easy_install,
  
  sudo easy_install pip

That's Great. Now you have pip :)

Update  The python34 bug mentioned below has finally been fixed   It is a perfectly fine choice now   Rather than using broken EPEL python34 packages  you can enable the IUS repo and have it work properly    pip inside virtual environments   The main python34u and python35u IUS packages include the pyvenv tool   usr bin pyvenv-3 4 or  usr bin pyvenv-3 5  that includes bundled wheels of pip and setuptools for bootstrapping virtual environments    global pip   The python34u-pip and python35u-pip IUS packages include  usr bin pip3 4 and  usr bin pip3 5 respectively   These work just fine to install packages to the system site-packages directory

curl https   bootstrap pypa io get-pip py   python3 4   Or if you don t have curl for some reason   wget https   bootstrap pypa io get-pip py python3 4 get-pip py   After this you should be able to run     pip3

The CentOS 7 yum package for python34 does include the ensurepip module  but for some reason is missing the setuptools and pip files that should be a part of that module   To fix  download the latest wheels from PyPI into the module s  bundled directory   lib64 python3 4 ensurepip  bundled     setuptools-18 4-py2 py3-none-any whl pip-7 1 2-py2 py3-none-any whl   then edit   init   py to match the downloaded versions    SETUPTOOLS VERSION    18 4   PIP VERSION    7 1 2    after which python3 4 -m ensurepip works as intended   Ensurepip is invoked automatically every time you create a virtual environment  for example   pyvenv-3 4 py3 source py3 bin activate   Hopefully RH will fix the broken Python3 4 yum package so that manual patching isn t needed

yum install python34-pip  pip3 4 install foo   You will likely need the EPEL repositories installed   yum install -y epel-release

Update 2019  I tried easy install at first but it doesn t install packages in a clean and intuitive way  Also when it comes time to remove packages it left a lot of artifacts that needed to be cleaned up   sudo yum install epel-release sudo yum install python34-pip pip install package   Was the solution that worked for me  it installs  pip3  as pip on the system  It also uses standard rpm structure so it clean in its removal  I am not sure what process you would need to take if you want both python2 and python3 package manager on your system

The easiest way I ve found to install pip3  for python3 x packages  on CentOS 7 is     sudo yum install python34-setuptools   sudo easy install-3 4 pip   You ll need to have the EPEL repository enabled before hand  of course   You should now be able to run commands like the following to install packages for python3 x     pip3 install foo

Figure out what version of python3 you have installed   yum search pip   and then install the best match  Use reqoquery to find name of resulting pip3 e g  repoquery -l python36u-pip   tells me to use pip3 6 instead of pip3
