Hello Python, I have been trying to install pip onto my windows laptop but even though I have python 3.6. It still will not run. Every time I type pip it returns by saying that it is not recognized as an internal or external command. Also when i type in python -m pip install, it returns with python.exe: No module named pip. I was wondering if you can provide me a solution to this problem Thanking you, Mike

Depending on which options you selected during installation, pip may not have been installed globally. If that's the case, then running "python -m ensurepip --default-pip" may fix it. Cheers, Nick. P.S. I'm assuming the installer you're using is the executable or web-based installer from https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-362/ -- Nick Coghlan | ncoghlan@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia

I've also filed https://bugs.python.org/issue30964 about this, as I realised it's probably worth mentioning as a common installation issue. Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncoghlan@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia
