Description
This PR updates the script to use the python binary directly instead of going through
update-alternatives. This is useful since the script will not touch what the default python interpreter is on a system.As a result, we may need to get pip through the
ensurepipmodule, since sometimes pip is not packaged for a python version (usually for RHEL-based OS's only thepython3package has support for installing pip via the package manager), this PR adds a way for pip to be installed viaensurepip(disabled by default).Before/After Comparison
Before
If an alternative python interpreter is needed, we would use
update-alternativesso it would become the system's default interpreter.After
A python binary would be specified and used directly.
Clerical Stuff
This closes #25 and will fix #21 .
