The PyPA recommended tool for installing and managing Python packages is pip
. pip
is included with Python 3.4 (PEP 453), but for older versions here's how to install it (on Windows, using Python 3.3):
Download https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
>c:\Python33\python.exe get-pip.py
Downloading/unpacking pip
Downloading/unpacking setuptools
Installing collected packages: pip, setuptools
Successfully installed pip setuptools
Cleaning up...
Sample usage:
>c:\Python33\Scripts\pip.exe install pymysql
Downloading/unpacking pymysql
Installing collected packages: pymysql
Successfully installed pymysql
Cleaning up...
In your case it would be this (it appears that pip
caches independent of Python version):
C:\Python27>python.exe \code\Python\get-pip.py
Requirement already up-to-date: pip in c:\python27\lib\site-packages
