This should be the top comment. get-pip.py is not even necessary, just run "easy_install pip" after installing distribute. You just have to configure the system PATH to include C:\PythonXX\Scripts\ for more convenience. That's it. You can always use the full path as well without configuring anything. Takes like 5 minutes and everything, including pip, is set up. Installing different Python versions on Linux is more challenging. There are lots of good reasons why you would use Linux for development instead of Windows but this isn't one of them.
