One trick here -- PATH may not be the same everywhere. For instance, on OS-X, the environment GUI programs get is entirely independent of the shell. So, as a rule, PATH will not be "right". I don't know if anyone tries to run pip from an IDE, but it might be worth keeping in mind-- this issue comes up all the time with setting the Python used by an IDE. -CHB _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
