Installing setuptools and pip
pip, python, setuptools
Solution
pip is not a replacement for setuptools, quite the contrary, it heavily depends on it and always will depend on it for installing packages from source. What pip does replace is the `easy_install` tool, which is provided as part of setuptools for historical reasons but shouldn't be used any more.
Problem
I'm new to Python. Trying install `pip`. All tutorials I saw say me to install `setuptools` first before installing `pip`. But I have read, that `pip` is a replacement for `setuptools`. So, why I have to install `setuptools` first and only then I can install `pip`?
