Pip install: can't open file pip, or Parent module '' not loaded

Question

Thanks for reading this in the first place.

I\'m trying to install Django. So here\'s what I do in the command line:

C:\\>python34 pip install Django
         


        

Answer 1

IIRC, pip on Windows installs to C:\Python34\Scripts by default. So, if that's isn't on your system path, you'd actually need to do this:

C:\> \Python34\Scripts\pip install Django

Also, read up in virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper. It'll make your life a lot easier - cheers.

Answer 2

Assuming you have pip installed and you want to do this through python as opposed to the standalone pip client, you can also do

python -m pip install SomePackage

Answer 3

The command pip is not a Python module. It is an executable. This should work:

C:\> pip install Django
