Update: python3-pip is not included in latest Tails release
I was doing some more testing and noticed that its not included anymore
as of the latest release. Not exactly sure what in the building process
removed it.
When typing `pip`, `pip install <package>` returns bash not found and
`which pip` returns nothing.
`apt list --installed |grep python3-pip` returns nothing.
Python3-pip should be added back next release and with a global config
to torify it by default.
There are many nice python tools not included with tails that users may
like to install. Also pip seems like a easy way to test different python
tools for use and possible integration onto tails.
A persistent storage feature for user installed python packages could
also be designed to be a hook that adds the appropriate corresponding
.local folders to the persistence.conf upon activation of the feature.
