Did the python-pip package go missing?

[Cashiuus]

I've been developing an installer script that works on the new Kali 2020 images to add in my common tools, including full setup of python 2 and 3. Last week everything was working fine. This week, all of a sudden the "python-pip" package is no longer in the sources update manifests. Yes, my sources are correct, and they haven't changed between last week and this week. On the package tracker, I can see python-pip was updated April 10, 2020, so perhaps something is wrong with it?

https://pkg.kali.org/pkg/python-pip

apt-cache search python-pip

now only results in 'python-pip-whl' which is a wheel package for virtualenvs, not the main package. Am I crazy or is this a bug?

I'm getting the same problem also but now this occurred,

~$ sudo apt install python-pip

Try installing python3-pip, that should be available in the repos.
