pip isn't a module. It's an executable program that you invoke *outside* of Python. — Makoto, Aug 11 '16 at 20:57
@Makoto Correct. You don't need to use `pip` within a python script, you simply do `pip install pyhook` etc. in a terminal. However, I just tried to `import pip` in python 3 and it _does_ work. So if OP can't do that then there might indeed be a problem. — Anonymous, Aug 11 '16 at 20:58

You need to make sure the pip executable is in your %PATH% variable. For me, the pip executable is located in the Scripts directory of my Python installation. That turned out to be C:\Python34\Scripts. So you should find out where this location is for you and then add it to your path variable.

Useful SO answer.

when i installed python 3.5 i selected the option for it to add to path and it said pip was included aswell but i go to comand prompt type in everyway for it to pop up and nothing. the message error is either syntax, module not found or specific route unknown.. should i downgrade to 2.7? maybe 3.5 just isnt compatible with windows 10. – user6554254 Aug 13 '16 at 17:59
I would just make sure that it's there by manually editing your path variable. – gr1zzly be4r Aug 14 '16 at 16:05
i set my laziness aside and did it.. thank you so much. – user6554254 Aug 18 '16 at 06:28

Sometimes when pip is not installed by default, use this:

python -m ensurepip --default-pip

I am using Python 3.4 and was getting the error that it didn't exist. I ran this upgrade and I can now import pyperclip which was one of the packages in that module.

C:\Python35-32\Scripts>python -m pip install --upgrade pip

Output:

Collecting pip
