Answer 1

Tested below for Linux: You can directly download pip from https://pypi.org/simple/pip/ untar and use directly with your latest python.

tar -xvf  pip-0.2.tar.gz
cd pip-0.2

Check for the contents.

anant$ ls
docs  pip.egg-info  pip-log.txt  pip.py  PKG-INFO  regen-docs  scripts  setup.cfg  setup.py  tests

Execute directly:

anant$ python pip.py --help
Usage: pip.py COMMAND [OPTIONS]

Options:
  --version             show program's version number and exit
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -E DIR, --environment=DIR
                        virtualenv environment to run pip in (either give the

  --proxy=PROXY         Specify a proxy in the form
                        user:passwd@proxy.server:port. Note that the

                        are behind an authenticated proxy.  If you provide
                        user@proxy.server:port then you will be prompted for a
