How can I install pip for Python2.7 in Ubuntu 20.04

Is there any way that I can install “pip” for “Python2.7” ? I could install python2.7 by

sudo apt install python2-minimal

I tried installing pip for this.

sudo apt install python-pip / python2-pip / python2.7-pip

but none worked. Can anybody have solution for this.

Answer

Pip for Python 2 is not included in the Ubuntu 20.04 repositories.

Try this guide which suggests to fetch a Python 2.7 compatible get_pip.py and use that to bootstrap pip.

curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/pip/2.7/get-pip.py --output get-pip.py
