ensurepip does not create pip.exe

[ironpythonbot]

It creates pip2.exe and pip2.7.exe in Scripts, but not pip.exe.

Workaround: provide --default-pip as a parameter to ipy invocation:

ipy -X:Frames -m ensurepip --default-pip --user

I also remember the reason why I got lazy and did not do anything. The pips end up in c:/Users/<auser>/AppData/Roaming/Python/Scripts which is shared across all installed pythons. So there is a potential to overwrite other pip. Using 2 or 2.7 suffix is a coincidence solution. I am not sure what the right solution for shared scripts is. However, having good defaults for ironpython only system should be no effort for user.

It really should go into %APPDATA%\IronPython\Scripts or something like
that instead. It doesn't get added to to PATH anyway; the end user still
has to do that.

Why %APPDATA%? There's "%PROGRAMFILES%\IronPython <version>\Scripts" and that's where it shall go.

[jdhardy]

%PROGRAMFILES% is not writeable by non-Admin users. %APPDATA% is where
regular Python puts it already in a non-elevated context.
