I've been a complete fanboy to Pypy for the past couple of months. After the official Sprint started I was checking the blog every couple of hours to see what wonderful and fascinating ideas people were working on implementing. I just want to thank you all for helping with this fascinating project. I was hoping to get some help. I have been trying to follow these (http://doc.pypy.org/en/latest/getting-started.html#installing-pypy) instructions to install pip on Pypy on my Win7 computer. $ curl -O http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py So I downloaded that file and saved it to my Pypy directory "C:\pypy-1.7\" $ curl -O https://raw.github.com/pypa/pip/master/contrib/get-pip.py So I downloaded that file and saved it to my Pypy directory "C:\pypy-1.7\" $ ./pypy-1.6/bin/pypy distribute_setup.py Run this file with Pypy. (Runs with no errors) $ ./pypy-1.6/bin/pypy get-pip.py Run that file with Pypy. (Runs with no errors) $ ./pypy-1.6/bin/pip install pygments # for example I am not sure how to translate this Instruction. There is no executable Pip in my Pypy folder. How do I actually install something with pip? Jacob

first, try pypy-1.7 that was just released for windows. Also in windows I think pip will be in a subfolder named Scripts no bin. -- Leonardo Santagada

Thank You! pip.exe and pip-2.7.exe are indeed in a subfolder called bin. Can we add that to the new version of the docs? When should I be using pip vs. using pip-2.7? Thank you again. Jacob On Tue, Nov 29, 2011 at 5:29 PM, Leonardo Santagada <santagada@gmail.com> wrote:

Doesn't matter, both will use pypy-1.7. The two binaries is in the case you have many python versions and whant to use the specific pip of one then you use the one with the version in the end. -- Leonardo Santagada
