Hi, I was doing a fresh installation for Python 2.7.9 (32 bit) and 3.4.3 (32 bit) (downloaded from PSF) on Win7 X64 today, and I found that there is no 'Script' folder in 'Python27' and 'Python34' folder as first child level folder, but there is one in Tools. However, I couldn't find pip within that 'Script' folder, although pip should be installed with Python by default. The other I was doing the same installation for my other PC and laptop, there was 'Script' folder (as first level child folder in 'Python27' and 'Python34') containing pip. So what is going on? how to install pip and maybe other useful scripts this way?

'C:\Pythonxy\Lib\site-packages' contains nothing but a README file. I tried 'python -m ensurepip' in 'C:\Python34'. I got the following errors:

Ignoring indexes: https://pypi.python.org/simple

I have also tried out 64bit Python installation, but got the same result. So how to fix this?

cheers
