I am following some code in  a Tkinter book I am reading. The author 
says he is using Windows 7 and Python 2.7.3, so I should be good with 
python 2.7.6.

Right now I am more concerned about and trying to fix the urllib3 
warnings.  As a test just now I used python 2.7.3 version of pip  to 
install pyperclip. It gave me the same urllib3 warnings as when I tried 
to install PyMedia, BUT it did go ahead and finish the installation.

So maybe the two problems are not related but I would like to figure out 
and correct the urllib3 problem.
