Whilst you might have to define "in the standard library", pip is added in PEP 453 [0] (accepted in 2013), in a similar capacity to venv:

> However, to avoid recommending a tool that CPython does not provide, it is further proposed that the pip [18] package manager be made available by default when installing CPython 3.4 or later and when creating virtual environments using the standard library's venv module via the pyvenv command line utility.

Yes. And that is confusing, as pip is a de facto standard IMO.
