Zachary Ware <zachary.w...@gmail.com> added the comment: Note that your instructions start with downloading the installer for 2.7.0, whereas the latest version of 2.7 is 2.7.14, which includes pip.
backports is a strange beast of a package, which tries to emulate Python 3's namespace packages in Python 2. To do so, backports.__init__ must have a very specific incantation, which yours is lacking (it only contains "from __future__ import absolute_import"). See https://pypi.org/project/backports/ for more details. ---------- resolution: third party -> not a bug stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue31741> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
