The package installation docs at https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Doc/installing/index.rst have a section on "Common Installation Issues": https://docs.python.org/3/installing/#common-installation-issues

A new entry should be added to this section to cover the case where pip isn't installed by default (e.g. because it was deselected when running the installer), and to suggest trying "python -m ensurepip --default-pip" as a potential remedy.

Should this section refer to https://packaging.python.org/tutorials/installing-packages/#install-pip-setuptools-and-wheel as well?
