pip installer

[Anders H]

I hope this is the right place to post. I am a first time poster :-)

I am testing the ease of use of the Spyder stand-alone installer for new users where I work.

It is all good, and I can see it installs a full version of Python in its own environment.

However I do not see the pip installer anywhere.

Is there an easy way from the Spyder interface to install packages?

Or do I need to get and run "get-pip-py"

I am running the latest Spyder 5.0.1

I remember something about opening a prompt or something from a dropdown within Spyder (that could have been a part of WinPython distribution though, if that makes a difference?)

 

Thanks

Anders

Hi,

You need to connect our stand-alone installer to other Python installations. Please read our docs to learn how to do that:

http://docs.spyder-ide.org/current/faq.html#using-existing-environment

Please don't hack the installer to add pip to it because that will simply break it. We don't add pip to our installers so that they are completely self contained and impossible to be broken by other packages.


Cheers,
Carlos
