Valueerror When Using Pip Or Easy_install To Install A Package Into Winpython

Currently doing a science course and using python to do calculations and plotting. The Uni uses winpython 2.7.5.3 This is the version I've installed as it has all the standard pack

Solution 1:

I'm not too familiar with Windows, but I would suggest trying to use a Python distribution such as Anaconda Python Distribution or Enthought Canopy which should both have Windows versions, and include a whole bunch of packages by default (including Numpy, Scipy, IPython, Matplotlib, and Astropy). The first is free, while the second has free licenses for students and academics.
