get-pip.py: SyntaxError: invalid syntax (last week was OK now KO)

[digitalfredy]

To help us help you, please fill out as much of the following as you can. If a question is not relevant, feel free to skip it.

1. What is your operating system and version?

   • Centos 7

2. What is your Python version?

   • 2.7.5

3. What version of pip do you have?

   • None

4. If following an online tutorial or guide, please provide a link to the page or section giving you trouble:

   • https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/#installing-with-get-pip-py
   • Note: I'm using Vagrant with Ansible-local provider and they are using get-pip-py to install pip and Ansible

5. Could you describe your issue in as much detail as possible?

During the last month I was using Vagrant with Ansible-local provider to do some automated test and all was working without issues but today I did a vagrant destroy and them a vagrant up and the my new VM not be provisioned. It means can not install Ansible because can not install pip because it looks you did a change that introduces a bug in get-pip-py (it looks other people got same problem for python 3):

curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | sudo python

Stdout from the command:

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

When searching in duckduckgo I found that another person got same problem today but for Python 3.5: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/631244/why-does-get-pip-py-complain-about-invalid-syntax

This is the Vagrantfile (just in case):

# -*- mode: ruby -*-
# vi: set ft=ruby :

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.vm.box = "centos/7"
  config.vm.box_check_update = false
  # Hostname to be used by Ansible and namespace for libvirt domain
  config.vm.define "hdp-sandbox"
  config.vm.synced_folder ".", "/vagrant", type: "nfs"
  config.vm.provider :libvirt do |domain|
    domain.memory = 13000
    domain.cpus = 2
  end

  # 00 Get Ansible
  config.vm.provision "ansible_local" do |ansible|
    ansible.install_mode = "pip"
    ansible.version = "2.9.15"
    ansible.playbook = "playbook.yml"
  end

### more deployment code I removed because is not related

Hello, cf #82 (and #83 for Python 3.5).

[pradyunsg]

curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | sudo python

Change this to:

curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/2.7/get-pip.py | sudo python
