I have never managed to install pip before (not that I have tried very hard)
but following
your instructions I seemed to have installed it successfully, using Windows
Server 2003,
IE8, and python 3.3.
I used it to install IPython, with the following results.
First I ran 'pip install ipython', which worked.
Then I read the IPython docs, which gave the following command to install
Notebook -
'pip install ipython[notebook]'
That seemed to work, but when I ran 'ipython notebook' it failed on 'import
pyzmq'.
I ran 'pip install pyzmq', tried again, and it failed on 'import jinja2'.
I used pip to install that, then it failed on 'import tornado'.
I used pip to install that, and now it seems to be working.
Now I understand why 'pip' is so popular - despite the above hiccups, it
felt very smooth.
Thanks for the instructions, Tim - much appreciated.
