Setting up a virtualenv: No module named ‘pip’

Useful workaround from the Python bug ticket for anybody else with this issue:

  • Run virtualenv venv --no-setuptools
  • Activate that virtualenv (venv\Scripts\activate)
  • Download and run get-pip.py to manually install pip & setuptools into this virtualenv
  • Continue as normal

Alternatively, downgrade to 3.3.3. This should be fixed properly in 3.3.5
