  It looks like 15.10 uses a mixture of Python 3.4 and 3.5 (hopefully
  that's temporary?).  Pip, the python package manager, is available
  from "python-pip" for Python 2.7, and "python3-pip" for Python 3.5,
  however, there is no python3.4-pip, and because of the weird state of
  Python in debian/ubuntu, there's no way to use "ensurepip" to get it
  either.

  One fix would be to just ship a complete version of
  python/python3.4/python3.5, including pip, as part of the base
  package, if there's any appetite for revisiting the historical
  decision to unbundle python...
