curl and run python script

Question

What is a shorter way to do that:

wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
sudo python get-pip.py

?
I tried this:

sudo <(python <(curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py))

but it returns the error: 'IOError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe'

This works: python <(curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py) but requires sudo

-s flag (silent) for curl should be helpful in case you plan to use that in some automation script or tool, so that it will not blame you with download progress.

Another way to install pip:

sudo python -m ensurepip
