easy_install, now deprecated, was released in 2004 as part of setuptools. It was notable at the time for installing packages from PyPI using requirement specifiers, and automatically installing dependencies.
Even for projects that do choose to use distutils , when pip installs such projects directly from source (rather than installing from a prebuilt wheel file), it will actually build your project using setuptools instead.
It lets you automatically download, build, install, and manage Python packages. Easy_Install looks in the Python Package Index (PyPI) for the desired packages and uses the metadata there to download and install the package and its dependencies. It is also hosted itself on the PyPI.
PIP is automatically installed with Python 2.7.9+ and Python 3.4+ and it comes with the virtualenv and pyvenv virtual environments. Before you install PIP on Windows, check if PIP is already installed.
Install the OpenSSL development package and then reinstall Python 2.7, in order to enable SSL (and hence HTTPS) support.
