[Distutils] pip install error

[William Gan]

Hello Tim and Daniel,

Many thanks for the very quick response.

I forgot to mention earlier that I did try on the Command Prompt. However, then I went into Python by entering the command ‘py’ and tried the pip install there.

Following Tim’s email, I tried at user prompt and it worked.

Noted suggestion on Tutor List. I have since subscribed to it.

Many thanks again.

Have a great day!

Good day,

I got your email from the Installing Python Modules page in the Python 3.6.0 documentation.

I encountered an error when trying to install a package in the Python IDLE shell:
>>> python -m pip install numpy
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I am using Windows 10.

I have not been able to find any solution to this. Could you please help? Alternatively, please direct me to a web group for help.

Many thanks.
Gan william
