When you run a .py script from Explorer, Windows creates a new console
for the script's standard input and output, but this console closes as
soon as the script exits (i.e. when the python.exe process exits).
Instead you can run the script from an existing cmd shell to inherit
the shell's console.

There's no "Scripts\pip" directory.

Only add fully qualified directories to PATH, separated by a
semicolon, without quotes, and with no spaces between entries. You can
reference another environment variable in PATH, but only if the
variable doesn't reference other environment variables.

Add ;.PY to PATHEXT to allow running "command" instead of "command.py".

With PATH set up correctly, you can install this module from a cmd
shell using "pip install pyperclip".

pip searches for packages on pypi.python.org. This should work fine
for pure-Python packages and those with a WHL or EGG that's built for
your version of Python. Some source-only packages require building
extension modules. If your system isn't configured to build
extensions, look for an unofficial WHL on Christoph Gohlke's site:
