get-pip: https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py doesn't work with Python 2.7.6 or earlier 2.7s

Trying to get-pip doesn’t work anymore on older 2.7s. I think it has to do with tls1.2 being required and probably not supported in older Python 2.7s. How can I install and use pip on Python 2.7.6 and earlier 2.7s?

Log from Python 2.7.6 get-pip:

Having the same issue on Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter

UPDATE Solved it by installing the latest version of python2 (2.7.15 currently) from here: https://www.python.org/downloads/ Comes with pip included.

Probably Windows version is shipped with an outdated TLS support
