Python- Unable to install pip on windows-No matching distribution found for pip

Question

I am trying to install pip library on Windows 8. Current python version - 2.7.3. I downloaded get-pip.py from https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/

On command prompt (as Administrator) when I execute the following command Python get-pip.py, I get following error. I am running this on my company network. Does this command expect me to provide ip address? I tried searching for a solution , but could not get satisfactory answer. Is there solution to it?If not is there any alternative to it? Please suggest

C:\Python27>python get-pip.py

Answer 1

There are Windows msi installers collection with some Python packages for all Python versions, both 32 and 64 bit. You need to

1. Install setuptools
2. Install pip

After that I found pip at C:\Python27\Scripts\pip.exe. Now you can add it to your path

Answer 2

Are you connected with internet.?
First connect to internet and type this command again. If then also this problem doesn't solve. Download python while installing there is option to install pip. Check that option and pip will be install in your system.

There will be option to add pip into your path variable select that also.

If you face installing pip refer this link
