pip install --upgrade pip updates to 10.0.0b2

[minhtrangvy]

• Pip version: n/a
• Python version: 2.7
• Operating system: linux

Description:

pip install --upgrade pip installs 10.0.0b2, forcing us to pin to 9.0.3 since we're still using Python 2.7, but I thought this shouldn't work without the pre in front of pip, like pip install --upgrade --pre pip? Not a big deal since any pip install --upgrade pip will eventually go to v10.

What I've run:

`pip install --upgrade pip`

What’s the original version of pip?

What version of pip did you use?

[svisser]

This may be the same as #5175.

[benoit-pierre]

@svisser: #5175 is about pip telling the user a new version if available, even if it's not a stable release. That does not mean pip install -U pip will upgrade to that pre-release (that should not happen unlesse --pre is used).

[pradyunsg]

(that should not happen unlesse --pre is used)

Or an old version of pip is used, to upgrade from.

More like an ancient version, <1.4 no?

[minhtrangvy]

Actually might be an issue with easy install since we use setuptools and that uses easy install

I can confirm that setuptools/easy_install does look at pre-release versions (see: pypa/setuptools#855).

This can probably be closed.
