title: How do I install pip in python 2.7?
body: <p>My end goal is to install the requests module, and the way to do that seems to be with pip. I have looked through the pip install documentation here <a href="http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/installing.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/installing.html</a></p>
  
  <p>The documentation has offered me no help. It tells me to "securely download get-pyp.py". I have been searching for a way to do this, and so far, everything I have seen recommends the command</p>
  
  <p>curl --silent --show-error --retry 5 <a href="https://raw.github.com/pypa/pip/master/contrib/get-pip.py" rel="nofollow">https://raw.github.com/pypa/pip/master/contrib/get-pip.py</a> | sudo python2.7</p>
  
  <p>I have been unable to figure out how to use this command. Curl is not a python command. I installed curl for windows and ran this command in windows command line, which worked, but I was unable to proceed from there. Is this intended to be installed with windows command line, or something else? I am lost.</p>
