To help us help you, please fill out as much of the following as you can. If a question is not relevant, feel free to skip it.

1. What is your operating system and version?

   • Centos 7

2. What is your Python version?

   • 2.7.5

3. What version of pip do you have?

   • None

4. If following an online tutorial or guide, please provide a link to the page or section giving you trouble:

   • https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/#installing-with-get-pip-py
   • Note: I'm using Vagrant with Ansible-local provider and they are using get-pip-py to install pip and Ansible

5. Could you describe your issue in as much detail as possible?

During the last month I was using Vagrant with Ansible-local provider to do some automated test and all was working without issues but today I did a vagrant destroy and them a vagrant up and the my new VM not be provisioned. It means can not install Ansible because can not install pip because it looks you did a change that introduces a bug in get-pip-py (it looks other people got same problem for python 3):

curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | sudo python

Stdout from the command:

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

When searching in duckduckgo I found that another person got same problem today but for Python 3.5: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/631244/why-does-get-pip-py-complain-about-invalid-syntax
