Pips for python2 and python3

[Tim Johnson]

Using ubuntu 20.04 as a recent install
with python3 (3.8.5) which was installed as part of the
original distribution install
and
python2 (2.7.18) that has been installed using apt.

I have a large amount of utilities written in python2 which I need to 
maintain
until I convert that code to python3

I see numerous caveats regarding the installing of pips for both these 
versions.

I would welcome advice on how to proceed which could very well be 
accomplished
by links to relevant discussions or documentation.

thanks
