[issue30628] why venv install old pip?

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

OK, so the key here is venv's dependency on a pip wheel.  That makes sense, but is certainly counterintuitive.  One would naively think that having a copy of PIP installed would make it easy to link that into the venv, but obviously it is a lot more complex than that, given pip's dependencies.  Thanks for the explanation.
