How to install beautiful soup 4 with python 2.7 on windows

You don’t need pip for installing Beautiful Soup – you can just download it and run python setup.py install from the directory that you have unzipped BeautifulSoup in (assuming that you have added Python to your system PATH – if you haven’t and you don’t want to you can run C:\Path\To\Python27\python "C:\Path\To\BeautifulSoup\setup.py" install)

However, you really should install pip – see How to install pip on Windows for how to do that best (via @MartijnPieters comment)
