I strongly recommend the excellent "pip-Win" utility.  It's a very small
download and a very quick install; it figures out your various virtual
environment(s) and makes everything incredibly easy.  I feel like I'm
cheating by using it, frankly, but the fact is that I like my tools to work
for ME, not the other way around; I came here to use Python, not fight with
command-line syntax.
