Latest pip version available is 18.1, would this version be supported also by pybuilder? I use "pip config" command in my projects which is not available in pip 9.x.

It will be, yes.

Just to be clear, the issue is that PyBuilder has pip pinned to 9.0?

I believe so:

Any info on when this may be available?

I am working on an appropriate solution, but it involves more things than just supporting "18.0", as with 10+ there are intermittent pip failures.

Would like to add that pip is on version 19 and yells every time you pip install something if you're not on the latest version of pip. I would also appreciate PyBuilder being able to use the latest version.
