declaimed the following:

	I have no experience with whatever provides "pyshell". I'd suggest
running from a Windows command line to reduce dependencies.

	As has been mentioned, this looks for get-pip.py to be in the current
directory. Is it?

	And one never invokes the python interpreter from within the python
interpreter. Python has no command named "python".

	Which "Path"? The Windows search path? That is only used to tell
Windows where to look for the executable program -- the first word on the
command line "python". Arguments provided to an executable "get-pip.py"
need to be specified fully; if it isn't in the current directory you have
to provide the path to the directory that it IS in.

	Presuming the import failures are all for third-party modules, the
first question would have to be: where and how are you installing those
modules

	I'll confess I've not really used PIP; I'm a few Python versions behind
(ActiveState 2.7.5.6), and most of my third party packages tended to be ZIP
files that one unpacks into a directory, then navigates to in a command
prompt and executes "python setup install" -- which commonly copies the
needed files into the active Python version "site" specific library, and if
needed modifies the Python import search path (which is independent of the
Windows path).
