Wouldn't keeping an explicit check with pkg_resources.get_distribution('pip') make for a more user-friendly error message if pip is indeed missing?

Perhaps, although I found in my experience that the error is "no module named pip", which seems fairly clear. More importantly, as I'd like to at some point remove the dependency on pkg_resources, I'm inclined to omit this usage here. Another advantage of this approach is that it would allow usage when 'pip' is present but its metadata is missing (for whatever reason).
