Manually specifying version 18.0 gives an error

[jared-wallace]

Environment

• pip version:
• Python version: 3.6.6 and 3.7.0 tested
• OS: Ubuntu 18.04

Description

the command "python get-pip.py pip==18.0"
gives a result of "Double requirement given: pip (already in pip==18.0, name='pip')"
Expected behavior

This worked fine a day ago, so I suspect a regression with the latest release.
How to Reproduce

sh> PIPVERSION=18.0
sh> curl -o /tmp/get-pip.py -sSL "https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py"
sh> python /tmp/get-pip.py pip==${PIPVERSION}
sh> python --version

Output

build@997821efc658:/work$ PIPVERSION=18.0
build@997821efc658:/work$ curl -o /tmp/get-pip.py -sSL "https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py"
build@997821efc658:/work$ python /tmp/get-pip.py pip==${PIPVERSION}
Double requirement given: pip (already in pip==18.0, name='pip')
build@997821efc658:/work$ python --version
Python 3.6.6

Temp workaround:

sed -i -e '84s/from\ pip\._internal\.req\ import\ InstallRequirement/from\ pip\._internal\.req\.constructors\ import\ install_req_from_line/g' get-pip.py

sed -i -e '137s/req\ =\ InstallRequirement\.from_line(arg)/req\ =\ install_req_from_line(arg)/g' get-pip.py

based off the patch above.

You could also use a constraint: python get-pip.py -c <(echo 'pip==18.0').

If you've verified this fix works, would you mind submitting it as a PR?

Wheee.

Closing since the get-pip PR is merged.
