How can I control which Python distribution to pip install a package to when I have Python 2, Python 3, and Anaconda on my computer?

Question

I have the following Python distributions installed on my Windows computer:

• Python 2.7 (IDLE)
• Python 3.4 (IDLE)
• Anaconda (Python 3.4)

Answer 1

For Anaconda go to C:\Users\USERNAME\Anaconda3\Scripts

Change these files pip-script.py and pip.exe to pip3-script.py and pip3.exe.

Then add these variables to your system variables.

Voila..!! Your Job is done. Now to install use pip2 for 2.7 and pip3 for anaconda version.
