[Tutor] certain packages won't install

[Matthew Ngaha]

oh i think it might be the 2nd case of having the wrong version of
pip. I do have pip for Python 2 also but both are not on my path so
cmd doesn't recognise 'pip' unless used in their python folders. I'll
try reinstalling pip. i got it via easy_install so i may have the
wrong one there also:(
