title: Python- Unable to install pip on windows-No matching distribution found for pip
body: <p>I am trying to install pip library on Windows 8. Current python version - 2.7.3. I downloaded get-pip.py from <a href="https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/</a></p>
  
  <p>On command prompt (as Administrator) when I execute the following command
  Python get-pip.py, I get following error. I am running this on my company network. Does this command expect me to provide ip address? I tried searching for a solution , but could not get satisfactory answer. Is there solution to it?If not is there any alternative to it? Please suggest</p>
