Re: Python pip

[Alejandro Hernandez <alejandro.hernandez@linux.intel.com>]

I am sending a patch to upgrade Python3 to 3.5, and I will include the 
pip3 change in it, currently pip3 is installed as pip, pip3 and pip3.5, 
so its just a matter of removing 'pip', to leave it available for pip2 
and make it default when python2-pip is installed, it seems to be 
working correctly that way, just thought I'd let you know.

Cheers,

Alejandro
