python-pip yum package provides pip-python instead of pip

Question

I installed python-pip package via yum (using Fedora\'s updates repo). It does not add the pip script to my PATH though.

Answer 1

This used to be the case on Fedora, due to the conflict noted with the perl-pip package. With the gracious consent of the perl-pip packager, this has been updated in recent versions, so installing pip-python on Fedora 17 or later now installs /usr/bin/pip
