Update to 26.1

Ah, the release procedure created the 26.1 tag and it seems get-pip 26.1 is already at https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py.

However CI failed due to dropped python 3.9 support. So I added 9362f97 here, in which min_version is updated.

What is the procedure to cope with that? Is it ok to move the 26.1 tag?

There is a note in the pip release process that explains what to do, but I have never followed it. Good luck, I've heard that it's a bit of a pain. cc @pfmoore who may remember.

Sorry, I have no idea if it's OK to move the tag. But I will note there's also a note about making 3.9/get-pip.py available:

If the release dropped the support of an obsolete Python version M.m, a new M.m/get-pip.py needs to be published: update the all task from tasks/generate.py in get-pip repository and make a pull request to psf-salt repository to add the new get-pip.py (and its directory) to salt/pypa/bootstrap/init.sls.

I've no idea how to do that, it's not something I ever remember doing myself, but there's an old PR there that may be useful: python/psf-salt#199

@ewdurbin can you help here?

I believe this PR is correct, but the 26.1 tag is misplaced, is it ok to move it?

Additionally, the procedure we had to update psf-salt in case pip drops support for an older Python refers to a file named salt/pypa/bootstrap/init.sls that is apparently not present anymore.

Yes, it is.

This should no longer be necessary. https://github.com/pypa/bootstrap/ is the current source of truth, and it'll use all the files under public/ -- placing them directly on bootstrap.pypa.io.

Thanks Pradyun. I moved the tag.
