Python 3.6 No module named pip

I have just installed Python 3.6 on Fedora 25 (64 bits) by running dnf install python36 and I can't use any modules Python 3.5 can otherwise use just fine, for example, PyCharm complains about setup tools not being installed, also I can run python3 and issue:

import aiohttp

However, if run python36 and then:

import aiohttp

I instead get:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'aiohttp'

Pip is also not present on python36, as python36 -m pip throws:

/usr/bin/python36: No module named pip

I have to note that I've got python 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6 installed at the same time, both 3.4 and 3.5 working just fine

On Fedora 25 Python 3.6 comes as a minimalistic version without pip and without additional dnf installable modules.

But you can manually install pip:

wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
sudo python3.6 get-pip.py

After that you can use it as python3.6 -m pip or just pip3.6.
