I don't have root access and i want to install python from scratch. So I downloaded the python source code and compiled it. Next I wanted to install pip. But when I ran python get-pip.py I got this error: ImportError: cannot import name HTTPSHandler Not having root access then I couldn't install stuff needed. So I thought maybe I can install pip with easy_install so I went and installed setuptools which has easy_install. But when I run easy_install pip I get this error: Searching for pip Reading https://pypi.python.org/simple/pip/ Download error on https://pypi.python.org/simple/pip/: unknown url type: https -- Some packages may not be found! Couldn't find index page for 'pip' (maybe misspelled?) Scanning index of all packages (this may take a while) Reading https://pypi.python.org/simple/ Download error on https://pypi.python.org/simple/: unknown url type: https -- Some packages may not be found! No local packages or download links found for pip error: Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse('pip') So now how to install pip? I'm really going crazy! Edit: I can't use virutalenv python  pip  easy-install share improve this question edited Oct 9 '14 at 14:21 asked  Oct 9 '14 at 13:06 Jack Twain 1,560 2 19 60

Why can't you use virtualenv –  ErlVolton  Oct 9 '14 at 14:23 Check this post.. stackoverflow.com/questions/19926683/… –  Social Outcast  Apr 25 '16 at 21:53 add a comment

try this to install pip : "easy_install-2.7 -U --user pip" **another important info** To install pip on Ubuntu, Debian or Linux Mint: $ sudo apt-get install python-pip To install pip on Fedora: $ sudo yum install python-pip To install pip on CentOS, first enable EPEL repository, and then run: $ sudo yum install python-pip To install pip on Archlinux: $ sudo pacman -S python-pip share improve this answer
