Triggering GetPip before installing packages

[peardox]

It appears to be impossible to get PIP installed via GetPIP BEFORE installing packages

As GetPIP should install the latest version of PIP it is desirable to have this rather that the pre-packaged version

Whatever I try GetPIP always fires AFTER I've installed all the packages

Add-ons creation time is currently managed by developers. Make sure you have it create right after the Python environment does.

Shouldn't the components be excluded from the package installation then and supporting documentation written?

Note - my tutorial can serve as documentation while the component is not quite right

[peardox]

Actually - if it works but just not in the desired order then leave component as-is owing to the fact that some people may not want to install any packages

This is not tough to fix. I presume I can solve this quickly.

It would also be a good idea to have the Android so files in the repo so when cloned everything works (even though Droid is a bit limited) as then I can tell people to add the environment variable as part of my tutorial - want a PR or you gonna do this?

[lmbelo]

I can do it. I'd also take the .so for macOS.

Cool - I'm mega busy with Tutorials anyway so that's a great help.

My demo prog failed on a tester's PC - he's running it on drive E :( Tring it on a USB Stick (also E - taking forever...)

@peardox components creation order were enhanced. Can you try it once?

[peardox]

I'll update everything and give it a try

No update property for GetPip or EnsurePip I notice

Python4Delphi still needs an ifndef on the fmxpython require for Linux and Linux compile included as noted
Components need Linux targets

Your boss-lock.json files all specify <filename>280.ext - don't know if this matters but it is a bit too version specific

[peardox]

ReChecking - summat odd happened

[lmbelo]

boss-lock.json is locally updated.

[lmbelo]

Is it reopened?

[peardox]

Everything fine after the fix for PythonEnvironment

I've only run cursory tests so far

Can't test pip proerly until they update it again - shouldn't be too long though

Sorry, until they update... (?)

[peardox]

When pip updates to a new version then I can see what happens (do I get an updated PIP?)

[lmbelo]

Have in mind that get-pip is a bootstrap file intended for offline installation. EnsurePip is a Python module that would install the PIP version bundled with it. Upgrading both would be another issue.
We should upgrade the get-pip bootstrap file as they release new ones.
For EnsurePip, we would need to recompile Python with the latest version.
We can provide an option on both add-ons to automatically upgrade it or a new managed package to provide any PIP module operation.

That's what my Upgrade property in GetPip was doing if you were online

EnsurePip with an --upgrade (python -m ensurepip --upgrade) didn't work when I tried it while GetPip with the --upgrade (python -m pip install --upgrade pip) definitely worked.

This means that they're stuck with whatever pip is packaged still..

[lmbelo]

Python -m ensurepip --upgrade will guarantee to upgrade to the bootstrapped version.
Python -m pip install --upgrade pip has the same functionality as for any other pip package.
