I have just started learning python from How to Think Like a Computer

think I was able to somehow install pip, but am unable to install swampy.
When i run 'pip install swampy' in windows command prompt, I get an error:

Your setup looks wrong, surely that should be python.exe, not pythonw.exe.
I'd recommend reinstalling and use the default settings, putting Python
at the top level of the disk and not in "Program Files", that's another
set of potential set of problems eliminated straight away.
