[Tutor] Which pip for Ubuntu 12.04

[Jim Byrnes]

How important is it to have the latest pip installed?

Initially I want to use it to install the latest pymongo driver for 
mongoDB.  The pip version in the Ubuntu 12.04 repositories is 1.0.1. I 
see on http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/ the version is 1.2.1.

It certainly would be easier to install from the repositories but will 
that version work to install the latest python packages?

Thanks,  Jim
