python 2.7: cannot pip on windows “bash: pip: command not found”

On Windows, pip lives in C:\[pythondir]\scripts.

So you’ll need to add that to your system path in order to run it from the command prompt. You could alternatively cd into that directory each time, but that’s a hassle.

See the top answer here for info on how to do that:
Adding Python Path on Windows 7

Also, that is a terrifying way to install pip. Grab it from Christophe Gohlke. Grab everything else from there for that matter.
