Call pip via Python Launcher

Question

I've installed Python 3.5 and 2.7 side by side on a Windows machine. Rather than messing around with my PATH, I'm using the Python Launcher to call different Python versions, for instance py -2 if I want to use Python 2. My question is: how do I call the pip executable for that installation?

Answer 1

You have to start pip as a module like

py -2 -m pip install virtualenv

Actually if you do want to mess around with python-environments (like installing conflicting libraries for the same python-version) you should take a look a virtualenv or venv
