Installing and upgrading pip does not require a C compiler. > So now I'm pipless. Read the thread if you want to know why I don't have > and can't (and won't) install Visual Studio 2015. VS 2015 is the wrong version for Python 3.4 anyway. You would need VS 2010. However, you don't need it in this case. You just need the latest pip. For packages that don't have wheels available on PyPI, you can often find an unofficial build on Christoph Gohlke's site [1]. He still builds and distributes wheels for Python 3.4, but I don't know for how much longer. [1]: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
