title: Did I install pip correctly?
body: <p>I'm new to python and the tutorial I'm using suggested for me to install four important packages (distribute, pip, nose and virtual env).</p>
  
  <p>I've installed the first two using setup.py in Windows PowerShell</p>
  
  <p>Problem is I can't figure out how to use pip. I've tried doing commands for pip in the cmd, python idle shell and powershell. All of them return something similar to <em>pip is not defined or there is a syntax error</em></p>
  
  <p>Here's what i type which results to syntax error</p>
  
  <pre><code>pip freeze
  
  pip list --outdated
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Anyone know if I've done something wrong installing pip?</p>
  
  <p>Notes:
  I'm using Windows 7
  I've checked the Python2.7 directory and pip is in the Scripts folder.
  I've also used help("modules") in the Python Idle shell and it lists pip in the modules</p>
