Gustavo, Reading your description, it sounds like you opening a Windows Explorer window and double clicking on pip.exe expecting it to run like a Windows application. But pip is a command line tool and you need to open a command line windows/console (cmd.exe) first before running pip. Open cmd.exe (Start -> find programs, type in cmd and it should come right up.) I have a shortcut for cmd.exe on my desktop. From inside the command line window/console, type "pip help", and you should see the help files associated with the pip program. "pip list", will show you any modules you have installed. From there you should be able to follow the documentation and install any modules you need. Good luck, I hope this helps. Chris Clifton

My name is Gustavo Davis. ?I am enjoying immensely what I'm learning about Python and all that it has to offer. Keep up the good work with Python and please continue making it one of the most popular and open source programming languages.? For right now the only thing that is causing me issues is with getting Pip to run on my PC. I've downloaded the files to my desktop folder and Ive even tried to look up the answers on youtube and other places. Some of the answers I understand about going to start>computer>properties>advancesystemsetttings>environmentvariables>path>edit and then add something like this: ;C:\Python34\Scripts\pip C:\Users\Owner\Desktop\Python Folder\Scripts But for some reason after I made the changes and saved them they wont run. I mean once I go to the file and right click on them and click run the cmd prompt pops up for a moment and then it just closes down and the pip module never runs in python. I have version 3.4.4. and 3.5.1. I'm very new to Python and I have to admit I'm not used to using the cmd prompt to install modules and I'm not sure that I understand how to do that. Any help you can give with this would be greatly appreciated. This problem has me stomped so much I almost wanted to give up for a while on Python. But I still have a love for its goals and its philosophy and that's what continues to draw me to it. I've very new to programming in general and thats why I when I came across Python I wanted to learn it and even work primarily a Python Developer one day. I know that most likely this question that has been addressed on the website. However I just kinda felt frustrated and wanted to speak with someone directly since I don't know much about programming at all. Below in the attachments are some the errors I keep getting even with IDLE. Please have a good day and thank you for taking out the time to listen to me. ? ?? _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
