I'm not familiar with Python, just trying to implement some software so please ELI5 if you can.

I was instructed to download Python, PyWin32, and Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler for Python 2.7. I attached the links to the versions, these are downlaod links.

https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.14/python-2.7.14.amd64.msi https://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/Build%20221/pywin32-221.win-amd64-py2.7.exe/download https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=44266

When I go to cmd prompt to enter pip install pyOpenSSL

I get the error 'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

python 2.7 doesn't come with pip. you have to install it first. take a look at- How do I install pip on Windows?

  • so I believe the python version is 2.7.14 right? It should already come with it but when I tried to execute the py -3 -m ensurepip it said "py is not recognized as an internal or external command" as well –  Nov 13 '19 at 04:04
  • can you access the python interpreter on command line? and also check for pip --version – neha deshpande Nov 13 '19 at 04:32
  • sorry how do I do both of those things? not familiar with this –  Nov 13 '19 at 04:37
  • open command prompt and type python check if you get '>>>' interactive prompt with python version details. exit interpreter using ctrl+z. and did you set python path during installation of python? – neha deshpande Nov 13 '19 at 04:41
  • it says python is not recognized as a command if I type that in but if I enter in C:\python27\python.exe I get details with an interactive prompt, version is 2.7.14. Not sure I just hit download and kept hitting next until it completed. –  Nov 13 '19 at 04:49

    ok. so you have to set that path in path environment variable. try this and set the variable and check again if you can access the interpreter by typing python only. add C:\python27 https://geek-university.com/python/add-python-to-the-windows-path/ – neha deshpande Nov 13 '19 at 04:54
