Indeed, this seems to be broken in Cygwin.  The ensurepip lib is
included with the main python package, but that code requires that the
wheel files exist (as it has no handling for a case where the lists
are empty).  The wheel files appear to be installed by the packages
python-pip-wheel and python-setuptools-wheel.  My system had the pip
wheel info (via its package) but did not have the setuptool info
(until I manually installed its package).

After looking at the wheel files in those packages, they look to be
out of date. For instance, the pip file is named for version 19.2.3,
but my pip3 is version 21.3.1 and my pip2 is version 20.3.3. So, it
looks like the wheel files (and related dependencies) need some
attention.
