An update that solves one vulnerability, contains one
feature and has one errata is now available.

Description:

This update for python-pip fixes the following issues:

- Add wheel subpackage with the generated wheel for this package (bsc#1176262, CVE-2019-20916).

- Make wheel a separate build run to avoid the setuptools/wheel build cycle.

- Switch this package to use update-alternatives for all files in %{_bindir} so it doesn't collide with the versions on "the latest" versions of Python interpreter (jsc#SLE-18038, bsc#1195831).
