Because PiP has dropped support for Python 2 in version 21 it is no longer possible to just do a simple pip install -U pip
on a system with Python 2 like CentOS 7.
This role has to now ensure that PiP upgrade only allow 21 or later for Python 3 and below that for Python 2.

pip 20.3 was the last version of pip that supported Python 2. Bugs reported with pip which only occur on Python 2.7 will likely be closed as “won’t fix” issues by pip’s maintainers.
