Errors Using Pip In Powershell to Download Django

[Malik Rumi]

Yesterday I tried to get the 1.7rc1 and got the error 'file contains no section headers'. I assumed this was because it was a tarball, and after looking around gave up for the night.

Tonight I decided to just get 1.6.5. But to my surprise, I got the same error. I have no control over putting section headers in these files. What do I do now? Thanks.

Can you provide some console output so we can see what commands you're
entering and what the actual output is?

Yes, you could try zip:

https://github.com/django/django/zipball/1.7c1

or, even newer:

https://github.com/django/django/zipball/stable/1.7.x

Thanks to both of you. I had a corrupt pip cache. Solution here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9510474/removing-pips-cache
