Which is why I think we should do it right at the point where we put pip there. This can be done with the get-pip script which only requires python to be there.

I did a little spelunking to try and figure out where it is we put pip onto the nodepool nodes. It appears that d-i-b for Ubuntu Xenial uses packages to put it there, but that doesn’t explain how the latest version got there. Does anyone have any insight into where exactly the latest version is installed?
