Install pip by default?

[samalba]

Would it make sense to include pip by default?

For python:3, it's included in upstream Python already, so:

$ docker run --rm python:3 pip --version
pip 1.5.6 from /usr/local/lib/python3.4/site-packages (python 3.4)

Do you mean we should include it in the python:2 image manually after we build Python?

[samalba]

right, I am using python:2

No big deal though, I just added the following in my dockerfile:

run curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | python

I think the thing we need to be cognitive of is whether this is something all users of this image would likely want, and I think the answer to that here is probably a resounding "yes", because let's be honest, Python without Pip is pretty irritating. :)

I'll send a PR to fix this shortly.
