RE: I have BeautifulSoup instaled - Blue Dog - Nov-04-2016

what do I do just put the file in to the scrip folder?

RE: I have BeautifulSoup instaled - Larz60+ - Nov-04-2016

What script? pip should already be there! this is where pip is located.
Pip goes out to the web and fetches what it needs to install.
Please ... just follow the instructions ... verbatim!

I updated pip and I am in python2.7/scripts
it will not install it, see error:
c:\Python2.7\Scripts>python -m pip install -U pip

The files are already there,pip comes pre-installed on 2.7.11.
Just follow what i have post update and install,and it should work.

If need wheel like lxml(because it has C dependency),
then you can place that wheel(.whl) in Scripts folder.
And eg do:

c:\Python2.7\Scripts>pip install lxml-3.6.4-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl

Quote:c:\Python2.7\Scripts>python -m pip install -U pip

Do not use python here just:

c:\Python2.7\Scripts>pip install --upgrade pip

The try install again.

RE: I have BeautifulSoup instaled - Blue Dog - Nov-04-2016

What step says to update pip?

To be sure you are using the correct version of pip:
pip -V .. You should see python 2.7

1. From a command prompt
2. cd c:\Python27\scripts Change this if python 2.7 is located in a different directory
3. pip install beautifulsoup4

I can see that python is not really ready to be used as a tool yet. Just for people that have time to play around with something that does not work. I uninstalled both 2.7 and 3.5, going back to C# that does work.
