The ensurepip module now invokes pip via the runpy module. Hence it is no longer tightly coupled with the internal API of the bundled pip version, allowing easier updates to a newer pip version both internally and for distributors. This way, any changes to the internal pip API won't mean ensurepip needs to be changed as well. Also, distributors can update their pip wheels independent on CPython release schedule.
