It's possible with easy_install to install exes from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/. Is there a way to do the same thing with pip?

Thanks.

Pip is the standard package manager for Python.

I don't think this is possible with pip, but this can be done with easy_install. e.g.

$ easy_install -U -Z "exe_installer_path"

--upgrade, -U
--always-unzip, -Z

For further explanation of the command line options please take a look here.
