Recommended way to install pip(3) on centos7

Question

I am interrested in knowing the recommended way to install pip3 for python3.6 (as of today, may 2018) on current version of centos7 (7.5.1804) and the accepted answer of How

Answer 1

There is now a python3-pip package in the CentOS 7 base repository as of 2019-08-22. There is no longer a need for third-party repositories or packages.

Installing python3-pip will also install libtirpc, python3, python3-libs, and python3-setuptools:

yum install --assumeyes python3-pip

You can now verify the version (yes, it is old, but it's what is coming from the base repository):

$ pip3 --version
pip 9.0.3 from /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages (python 3.6)

If you don't want to stray from the files provided by the python3-pip package, and you don't want to see warnings about pip being old, see https://stackoverflow.com/a/46288945/534275 for silencing the messages.
