Question
My end goal is to install the requests module, and the way to do that seems to be with pip. I have looked through the pip install documentation here http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/installing.html
The documentation has offered me no help. It tells me to "securely download get-pyp.py". I have been searching for a way to do this, and so far, everything I have seen recommends the command
curl --silent --show-error --retry 5 https://raw.github.com/pypa/pip/master/contrib/get-pip.py | sudo python2.7
I have been unable to figure out how to use this command. Curl is not a python command. I installed curl for windows and ran this command in windows command line, which worked, but I was unable to proceed from there. Is this intended to be installed with windows command line, or something else? I am lost.
Solution
You can first install easy_install (which is part of set up tools) from the following location

Right click on the link and save the file ez_setup.py and then run it.
Once that is complete and you have added the scripts to your path variable (C...Python2.7..scripts), you can install pip using
easy_install pip
