Is it just a pronunciation for the extension WHL or is it really a name? Also, it seems that when I install Python on Windows, it doesn't come with pip ready to run. I had to say python -m ensurepip and then I saw that a pip on a whl-package was installed. Why doesn't the official distribution make pip ready to run by default? Thank you!
