No, sounds like a path environment variable issue.  The python
executable is on your path, but the pip executable is not.  The
get-pip.py script should have installed it into C:\Python27\Scripts, I
think, so either add that directory to your path (you can find
instructions for this on the web) or just cd to that directory and run
the pip command from there.
