[IPython-dev] problems with pip install "ipython[notebook]" on Windows 7

I'm trying to install iPython on a laptop I've just received.
Windows 7, 64-Bit, Python 2.7.10

I want to use virtualenv. I don't want the conda installer because conda
rare;y finds packages that pip has no problems installing. Additionally, I
don't see an easy way for virtualenv to work with conda environments, so
I'm avoiding it completely.

>From an administrator's cmd prompt window...

pip install "ipython[notebook]"

resulted in an error, because pexpect was expected to be installed.
The OS platform iswindows, so pexpect will not be there. Why is the
installer doing this on Windows??

I then installed the packages listed on the iPython quickstart page-
manually. Everything went well, however the notebook, and qt are not
installed.

iptest core

fails only 1 test, ipkernel.pylab

is not installed

At this  point, I'm not sure how to continue in order to get a fully working

notebook environment installed.


Thanks

Tony
