Why Pip is not listed in the official Global Python Module index? - quazirfan - Apr-21-2023
Pip comes built in with Python. That's why I was surprised to see pip not listed in the global module index[1] on official Python documentation.
Why is that the case?

pip is separate from python.
Most versions of python come with pip as part of the package, but not all.
for example Anaconda comes with coda as a counterpart.

Pip is a package manager/installer for Python modules/packages.
So it's a step above modules/packages,as it been used to install 3-party modules/packages.
pip are under the wings of Python Packaging Authority (PyPA).
One of the goals of PyPA:
PyPA Wrote:To improve the docs for users, including the Python Packaging User Guide, anything related to packaging on docs.python.org,
and the project docs forpip, setuptools, virtualenv, and wheel.
