There's no "pip import" command - I guess you meant "pip install"?

Rather than transcribing what you did, can you include a copy and
paste of the actual text in your command window?

I also googled for the message you quoted, and I see that it's a
Windows message (not one from pip or Python). The most obvious
suggestion from that was "you're running a 64-bit application on a
32-bit Windows". I note from the above:

Are you running 32-bit Windows? If so, you got the wrong version of
Python (you need the 32-bit version).
