Could not install PIP on Shell
#1
Hello,
I have downloaded/installed Python 3.4.3. set path to proper directory from window's command prompt. I have verified pip in the directory. From WIN10 Command prompt, I can run PIP and install packages. However,PIP is not recognized in Python 3.4.3 shell.
From window's 10 command prompt, I can install pip and other packages:

C:\>pip

Usage:
pip <command> [options]

Commands:
install Install packages.
uninstall Uninstall packages.
freeze Output installed packages in requirements format.
list List installed packages.
show Show information about installed packages.
search Search PyPI for packages.
wheel Build wheels from your requirements.
zip DEPRECATED. Zip individual packages.
unzip DEPRECATED. Unzip individual packages.
help Show help for commands.

General Options:
-h, --help Show help.
--isolated Run pip in an isolated mode, ignoring
environment variables and user configuration.
-v, --verbose Give more output. Option is additive, and can be
used up to 3 times.
-V, --version Show version and exit.
-q, --quiet Give less output.
--log <path> Path to a verbose appending log.
--proxy <proxy> Specify a proxy in the form
[user:passwd@]proxy.server:port.
--retries <retries> Maximum number of retries each connection should
attempt (default 5 times).
--timeout <sec> Set the socket timeout (default 15 seconds).
--exists-action <action> Default action when a path already exists:

not have valid or any HTTPS.
--cert <path> Path to alternate CA bundle.

containing the private key and the certificate
in PEM format.

Don't periodically check PyPI to determine
whether a new version of pip is available for
download. Implied with --no-index.

C:\>python -m pip install beautifulsoup4
You are using pip version 6.0.8, however version 9.0.1 is available.

pip is only for use on command line.

There is no point using 3.4.3,use 3.6.
Look at Python 3.6 and pip installation under Windows, part-2.

you started right. you need to work with pip from command prompt. to upgrade pip do
C:\>python -m pip install -U pip

in the last part you get syntax error because you try to run pip from python interactive prompt, not from command prompt

I did install 3.6.2 however, it's not giving me the shell window. Any idea how to get the shell in this version of Python? Moreover, I do not see any directory (Like Python34) created after the install of 3.6. So I uninstalled it and installed this 3.4 version.
Please advise.

Thanks

That's Python 3.4.3 Shell
I'm using this Shell for creating the programs. How do I make it understand PIP?

Thanks for your help.

Read and look at  pictures in my link,you see you most choose Customize Installation.
Here you choose own path like C:\python36.

Thanks snippsat.
Do I need to uninstall first the 3.4.3 version prior installing 3.6 or I can do it later?

As has been mentioned above, do not use 'pip' in the Python shell. It is used from the command line.

If you are just starting out, you should be using the latest version of Python, currently 3.6.3. If I were you, I would remove all version of Python you have installed, then install 3.6.3, making sure you download either the 32 bit version or 64 bit version, depending on which your OS is running.
If it ain't broke, I just haven't gotten to it yet.
OS: Windows 10, openSuse 42.3, freeBSD 11, Raspian "Stretch"
Python 3.6.5, IDE: PyCharm 2018 Community Edition

If have 3.6.0 and try to install 3.6.3 it comes up a update option,
just push that and it will update automatic,if happy with previous setup like Path 32/64-bit ect.
