pip install

pip is run from the command line, not the Python interpreter. RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR

Example from Django Essentials

To install Django with PIP, you have to open a command prompt and go to the Scripts directory that you can find in the Python folder. You can install Django with the following command:

{source}
<!-- You can place html anywhere within the source tags -->
<pre class="brush:py;">

PS C:\python34\scripts> pip.exe install django
Downloading/unpacking django
Installing collected packages: django
Successfully installed django
Cleaning up...
PS C:\python34\scripts>

</pre>

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
// You can place JavaScript like this

</script>
<?php
// You can place PHP like this

?>
{/source}

It is a program that installs modules, so you can use them from Python. Once you have installed the module, then you can open the Python shell and do import module name.

The Python shell is not a command line, it is an interactive interpreter. You type Python code into it, not commands

{source}
<!-- You can place html anywhere within the source tags -->
