New issue 1958: Documentation: Installing PyPy: pip instructions incorrect
https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/issue/1958/documentation-installing-pypy-pip

Benjamen Keroack:

The instructions on how to manually install pip here is incorrect: http://pypy.readthedocs.org/en/latest/install.html#installing-pypy

http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py is a dead link (python-distribute.org now is squatted and appears to host malware)

It should be replaced with the following:

- Download and execute: https://bootstrap.pypa.io/ez_setup.py

The following link still works so it can stay: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pypa/pip/master/contrib/get-pip.py

I consider this a pretty serious documentation bug since currently the only way to get PyPy3 pip installed on Ubuntu 14.04 is to do so manually. The current docs resulted in quite a bit of frustration for me.
