Are you positive this is the only Python installed?

What does 

python -c "import sys; print(sys.version)"

do?

*scratches head*

I dunno, to me it sounds like it *didn't* work, not if it is printing 
red error messages at the end. What do they say?

My guess is that you need Administrator privileges to install the 
packages. Or perhaps to tell pip to install as site packages in your 
home directory, but I'm not sure how to do that.
