The embeddable Windows ZIP package is extremely useful for portable apps and offline deployments.
However, it lacks both pip and get-pip.py, which creates significant friction for users who want to use the embeddable version in a modern Python workflow.
The embeddable package is designed to be minimal, including get-pip.py would make it far more functional without significantly increasing the package size. Users could then easily install pip improving accessibility for tools that are not easily deployable without a Python installation and don't work well or at all when frozen(e.g. Streamlit or educational scenarios).
Proposed enhancement:
Include the latest get-pip.py in the root of the ZIP archive (or in Tools/ or Scripts/) and provide a mechanism to:
modify the python.pth file to enable import site (at the moment the code is there but commented)
install pip using get-pip
