Bug Description

Ubuntu's python3.4 package does not include "pip" which, as of 3.4, is a standard, batteries-included feature, per PEP 453.

Testing, from a clean install:

1. sudo apt-get install -y python3.4
2. python3 -c 'import pip'
<error>
3. sudo apt-get install -y python3-pip
4. python3 -c 'import pip'
<noerror>

While we may disagree with their choice of package manager, failing to install a Python standard library is an unnecessary obstacle for users and the expectation of the presence of pip is widespread, see https://github.com/search?q="import+pip"&type=Code&ref=searchresults
