[split] adding 3rd party libs

[Blue Dog]

Hello  

I need to put some modules in python 3.4, my os is win 7. How would I do that? One of the modules I need is pyperclip

Thank You

It depends on what operating system you are using. 
You can get it from
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyperclip

if your on linux you can get it from your distros repo

Output:
metulburr@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-cache search pyperclip
python-pyperclip - Cross-platform clipboard module for Python
python3-pyperclip - Cross-platform clipboard module for Python3

You can also use pip to install 3rd party libs

EDIT:

my os is win 7

I can't even run python from my cmd prompt.

I would like to be able to run python from the cmd prompt.

Is python installed?

1. see if python has been installed (C:\python35
    o If it's there and you can't execute from command line using 'python' or 'python3'
    that means it's not in you path.

        If it runs, quit from python back to command line and run 'pip install paperclip'

        If not you have two choices:
           1. add to path from control panel-->system-->advanced-->environment variables BUT
               DO NOT DO THIS UNLESS YOU KNOW HOW!!! You cam really muck up your system if
               not done correctly.

            2. A very safe way
                    o Uninstall python 3.5
                    o Re-install paying attention to all offered options, making sure you select the add to path option.

I have two IDE for python, so I know I have the path set, they both work. I have VS Express 2013 and Sublime text 3. I put the path for python 3.5 in it. I just check and here it is: C:\mingw\bin;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Skype\Phone\;C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenSSH\bin;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn\;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\120\Tools\Binn\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\TypeScript\1.0\ , "C:\Users\renny and kite\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35\python.exe" I all so have 2.7 installed, could that make some type of a problem?

Thank you for your help

Uninstall an do a new installation.
Follow this.
So make better location eg C:\Python35.
Make sure that that Add to Path and pip is marked.
Restart.
Now it should like this in cmd(35 for you)

C:\Windows\System32>cd\
C:\>python
Python 3.4.2 (v3.4.2:ab2c023a9432, Oct  6 2014, 22:15:05) [MSC v.1600 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> exit()

C:\>pip -V
pip 8.1.2 from c:\python34\lib\site-packages (python 3.4)
C:\>

If pip is not 8.1.2,upgrade it.

python -m pip install --upgrade pip

Next install cmder for a better shell.

Test that pip work:

λ pip install requests
Collecting requests
  Using cached requests-2.11.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl
Installing collected packages: requests
Successfully installed requests-2.11.1
