That way you haven t installed pip  you installed just the easy install i e  setuptools   First you should remove all the packages you installed with easy install using  see uninstall    easy install -m PackageName   This includes pip if you installed it using easy install pip   After this you remove the setuptools following the instructions from here      If setuptools package is found in your global site-packages directory    you may safely remove the following file directory    setuptools-  egg      If setuptools is installed in some other location such as the user site directory    eg     local    Library Python or  APPDATA    then you may safely remove the   following files    pkg resources py easy install py setuptools  setuptools-  egg-info
