install pip on windows box / version win 7

[apollo]

hello dear stranac and sparkz_alot,

note: to install python on windows is only one step i currently have on my to-do-shedule,

more tasks are the following:

install Python 3.6.4 on a OpenSuse machine; with opensuse 42.3 - see the notes below..+++



again - many thanks for the replies with the tips. i run version 3.6.4 - but i have forgotten to set the environment-paths during the installation on the windows 7 version.

So i guess that this caused the issues i have encountered - in other words.

pip was not " available " and the windows commandline behaved like i mentioned above


sparkz_alot

If you installed Python correctly (and hopefully you are using the latest version, 3.6.4) see our installation tutorial: https://python-forum.io/Thread-Basic-Par...er-Windows, pip should already be installed. To check, type the following in the command terminal:

i will have a closer look at the installation-tutorial
to fix the above mentioned isseus

I tried to fix this - by entereing the Modify-Modus in the python Installer of python 3.6.4

python 3.6.4

see the advanced options

+associate files with python (requies the py launcher)
+create shortcuts for installed apps 
+add python to environment variables
precompile standard libraries
download debugging sympols 
download debug binaries 

in other words - i have addes this line

+add python to environment variables

note: at the moment i am not in front of the mentioned notebook I will do all the work in the next few days.-Then i will let you know what happened.

meanwhile many many thanks for all your help

greetings, apollo


regarding the installation on opensuse 42.3
- note; this could be written in a extra-thread i will open a new thread in some days:

What's the recommended way to install python 3.6+ on Opensuse Leap?

some friends of me recommend to Upgrade to opensuse Version Leap 15...- the next version of OpenSuse
The latest python is available in the [noparse]devel:lang:python:Factory[/noparse] repo for Leap 42.3 as well though: https://download.opensuse.org/repositori...Leap_42.3/

Updated python modules are available in [noparse]devel:lang:python:[/noparse]
https://download.opensuse.org/repositori...Leap_42.3/

the question is: whether replacing the system's python3 would be a good idea or might rather cause problems though. Some notes regarding OpenSuse: OpenSuse Leap 15 is the next major version, 15.0 is the successor of Leap 42.3: Well the python version 15 still beta, the release is currently targeted for the beginnig of May. Well - we can make use of the openSUSE repos if we want to upgrade python on our system.

more options: If we instead want or need to install python version side by side, we can do this using virtualenv. Although we can install virtualenv also from the openSUSE repos, it's probably better to use pip to install from the official Python repos.

The virtualenv documentation is located here:https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/stable/

We can use virtualization, yes we can install or upgrade python in isolated machines, changes and configurations in each machine won't affect what is on our main system or other virtual machines.

what do you suggest?
Again as noted above: this could be written in a extra-thread i will open a new thread in some days:
