After following this article: How do I install pip on Windows? on my Windows system using Enthought Canopy 64 Bit system, I cannot get pip or easy_install to work due to error:
pip install requests failed to create process I tried re-installing setuptools, running cmd prompt as admin without any effect.

easy_install 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. pip came later in 2008, as alternative to easy_install, although still largely built on top of setuptools components.
I had the same problem. You need to set the PATH environment variable, so that the system recognizes the command "pip". Close and reopen PowerShell after running this command. Show activity on this post.
When I encountered this, it was because I'd manually renamed the directory python was in. This meant that both setuptools and pip had to be reinstalled. Or, I had to manually rename the python directory to what it had been previously.
