I've got a problem while I want to install couple packages for python 3.4.

The problem appears while I want to type pip. Any commands after word pip, easy_install are giving the same error. Installed get-pip.py before but the error still occurs:

C:\Users\Konrad>pip
Fatal error in launche: Job information querying failed

I'm running windows10 x64. The cmd was in admin mode.

Aby suggestions? I typed that error message through google, but there weren't any helpful answers.

Running python just works and launches Python 3.4.3.

That doesn't look like the Python pip command. You have a different pip executable in the way somewhere.

Use python -m pip as a work-around; it'll use Python to find the module and use it as a command-line tool (which is explicitly supported):

python -m pip install <something>

    @kodi1911: installing packages with C extensions on Windows in notoriously troublesome. See [error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat](https://stackoverflow.com/q/2817869), but it's usually easier to just use [Gohlke's builds](http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/). – Martijn Pieters May 04 '15 at 10:04
  • installed visual studio 2010 express. It's working. Thank you! – kodi1911 May 04 '15 at 11:58
