How to use pip with python 3.4 on windows?

Just installed a fresh copy of python 3.4.1 on windows 7. Here says that pip is included by default. but i could not find any pip.exe or some pip commands. Do I need to install it separately or it exists somewhere?

Solution 1:

i have Windows7 Python 3.4.1; following command suggested by Guss worked well

C:\Users>py -m pip install requests

Output

Downloading/unpacking requests
Installing collected packages: requests
Successfully installed requests
Cleaning up...

Solution 2:

Assuming you don't have any other Python installations, you should be able to do python -m pip after a default installation. Something like the following should be in your system path:

C:\Python34\Scripts

This would obviously be different, if you installed Python in a different location.

Solution 3:

"On Windows and Mac OS X, the CPython installers now default to installing pip along with CPython itself (users may opt out of installing it during the installation process). Window users will need to opt in to the automatic PATH modifications to have pip available from the command line by default, otherwise it can still be accessed through the Python launcher for Windows as py -m pip."

Have you tried it?

Note: To avoid conflicts between parallel Python 2 and Python 3 installations, only the versioned pip3 and pip3.4 commands are bootstrapped by default when ensurepip is invoked directly - the --default-pip option is needed to also request the unversioned pip command. pyvenv and the Windows installer ensure that the unqualified pip command is made available in those environments, and pip can always be invoked via the -m switch rather than directly to avoid ambiguity on systems with multiple Python installations.

So try pip3 or pip3.4 in Command Prompt.

Also, ensure that environment variable are set for pip command, if you missed to opt-in for automatic PATH configuration.
