I've just installed python 3.5, ran Python 3.5 (32-bit) and typed
pip
and received the message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#2>", line 1, in <module>
pip
NameError: name 'pip' is not defined
I don't see any scripts directories in my path, but I found pip.py in C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35-32\Scripts.
I selected the option to "Add python to environment variables" during installation, but it doesn't seem to have done anything.
I googled this and got this guide, which says that earlier versions need to add some path names. I don't have a C:\Python... directory so I tried adding the Scripts folder from above, same result.
How do I install python so that it actually works (ie. I can run pip, install modules, etc.)?
This question is related to
python
python-3.x
Maybe you'd like try run pip in Python shell like this:
>>> import pip
>>> pip.main(['install', 'requests'])
This will install requests package using pip.
Because pip is a module in standard library, but it isn't a built-in function(or module), so you need import it.
Other way, you should run pip in system shell(cmd. If pip is in path).
I have a Mac, but luckily this should work the same way:
pip is a command-line thing. You don't run it in python.
For example, on my Mac, I just say:
$pip install somelib
pretty easy!
First go to the pip documentation if not install before: http://pip.readthedocs.org/en/stable/installing/
and follow the install pip which is first download get-pip.py from https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
Then run the following (which may require administrator access): python get-pip.py
