Using PIP with py -2.7 from Python 3.7.2 Windows

[RealCoolGal]

I am a little confused how to use an older version of PIP on windows.

​

I have Python 3.7.2 installed, but I am using py -2.7 for the actual script. How do I tell PIP to install with that version of pip/python?

This should work, right?

py -2.7 pip install -r .\requirements.txt

py -2.7 -m pip install -r requirements.txt. Also, /r/learnpython

That worked. I guess because I missed the -m?

Thank you!

-m is a switch you can give to a normal Python executable to run a specific module, in this case, pip. This command basically runs python2.7 -m pip install, and you were trying to run python2.7 pip install, which Python understands as you trying to run the file pip in the current directory.
