    Update the pip recommendations
    
    * Recommend at least pip 7 because versions since 1.3 have changed
      the defaults to better protect end users during install.
    * Use the new official location for the bootstrap script.

+We recommend using the Pip>=7.0.0 because it included several important
 security and privacy related patches:
 
  * It forces the use of HTTPS for [PyPI](pypi.python.org).
  * and checks package hash sums before installation, with support for hashes
    more collision-resistant than MD5.
+ * It does not fetch insecure metadata from external sourced by default.
+ * It does not support an insecure index without explicit opt in.
 
 The least painful way (that we know of) to install a newer Pip is to use Pip's
 get-pip script::
 
     # Grab the get-pip installer to make sure we have pip>=1.3.0
-    curl -O https://raw.github.com/pypa/pip/master/contrib/get-pip.py
-    sudo python ./get-pip.py  ## pip (>=1.3.0) is recommended for security reasons
+    curl -O https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
+    sudo python ./get-pip.py  ## pip (>=7.0.0) is recommended for security reasons
     # And make sure we're actually using the newer one:
     sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/pip pip /usr/local/bin/pip 0
