chocolatey says it has successfully force reinstalled python 3.11 - but I can't find it

Windows 11.
I am not great at virtual environments, and I have bumped around between a half dozen different "solutions." I thought I had it solved with chocolatey, but I am trying to install python3.11, and not having success. Basically, choco says it is installed, but I can't find it anywhere.
C:\Windows\System32>choco install --force python --version=3.11
Chocolatey v1.2.0
Installing the following packages:
python
By installing, you accept licenses for the packages.
python v3.11.0 already installed. Forcing reinstall of version '3.11.0'.
Please use upgrade if you meant to upgrade to a new version.
Progress: Downloading python 3.11.0... 100%
python v3.11.0 (forced) [Approved]
python package files install completed. Performing other installation steps.
The install of python was successful.
Software installed to 'C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\python'
Chocolatey installed 1/1 packages.
See the log for details (C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\logs\chocolatey.log).
C:\Windows\System32>
This gives the impression that python would be in C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\python, but the only files in that directory are python.nupkgandpython.nuspec`
Where do I go to find my shiny new python?

From PowerShell, run get-command python.exe
And you will get something like this:
CommandType Name Version Source
----------- ---- ------- ------
Application python.exe 0.0.0.0 C:\Users\Paul\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\python.exe
The Source column is where it is running python.exe from and where python is installed.

The python package on the Chocolatey Community Repository is a metapackage. So it does not install python, instead, it has a dependency on python2 or python3 (depending on the version of python), that dependent package is what actually installs Python. So if you install python v3.11, that will have a dependency on python3 v3.11, and the python3 package will download and run the Python installer.
Instead of force installing python, try for installing python3 to rerun the Python installer.
As for the install location, packages install to $env:ChocolateyInstall\lib\. So the .nupkg, .nuspec, chocolateyInstall.ps1, etc will all be there. But the python3 package runs the Python installer, and the Python 3.11.x installer will by default install to C:\python311 when run by the chocolateyInstall.ps1 in the python3 package.

pip install wheel on windows when multiple python versions

I am running python3 on windows, and have 2 python3 versions installed (3.4 and 3.5). This is necessary from some reasons. Python 3.4 seems to be the default one and is located in c:/python34/... while 3.5 is located in c:/Users/u/AppData/...
When trying to do:
pip install C:\Users\YOANN\Downloads\numpy-1.12.0+mkl-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl
or
pip3 install C:\Users\YOANN\Downloads\numpy-1.12.0+mkl-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl
I receive the error:
numpy-1.12.0+mkl-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.
I'm pretty sure it's because it is trying to install it on the 3.4 version instead of 3.5 hence the version mismatch, but I can't find a workaround...
Any idea?

Just run it with the full path to pip and it should work.
c:\Users\u\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35-64\Scripts\pip.exe install C:\Users\YOANN\Downloads\numpy-1.12.0+mkl-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl
Check the first part, the c:\Users\u should be where you have installed your python3.5
I'm not sure what you are trying to do, but Virtual Environments may be your best friend.

Python 2.7.11 pip not installed

I have Python 2.7.11 installed on my machine which to my understanding should come with pip, however when I check the C:\Python27\Tools\Scripts\ directory there is no pip.exe present.
I have tried completely removing and reinstalling Python 2.7.11 without success. Running the installer pip is set to be installed, but after the install pip is nowhere to be found.
I also have Python 3.4 installed which has pip as expected. Any thoughts?

I encountered the same problem - pip not installed - with python-2.7.16, Win10, installing for 'all users'. It was resolved when I allowed the MSI installer to target the default location (C:\Python27) rather than changing it to under Program Files (x86). I've no clue why this changed anything.

python2.7.11 should install pip into c:\python27\scripts, you can take a look here

I used https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/ to make it install. Odd that an outside body has to make a tool to get pip to install. There is no mention of pip.pypa.io on the Python web site.
Although I got error messages, it did install, so check carefully.
You also may see a message suggesting that you upgrade to pip 9.0 with the command 'pip install --upgrade.' I highly recommend that.
Also, make sure you are in the directory where pip.exe is located when you run the commands. They don't tell you that, because they assume you know that, but we're not all geeks.

For people who are running into this issue, I have a Windows 10 x86 dev box that I use for exploit development, Python 2.7 was installed due to Immunity Debugger, this install did not include the new SSL package and did not include "pip".
There was no "C:\Python27\Scripts" folder which included pip. I did have a "C:\Python27\Tools\Scripts" folder which did not have pip installed.
I tired to install pip as suggested but did not work. Best way is to uninstall Python and install newest version, currently mine is 2.7.15 which came with pip as an option. This is what solved my issue, any older version of Python will need upgraded to support the SSL packages. You will receive the same errors when you try to install pip on an older version.
If you have reinstalled Python which included the SSL package and it still does not have pip, trying installing pip this way:
1. curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py
2. python get-pip.py
https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/
This should work if you have a newer version of Python.
Once you have installed pip or newer version of python, go to "C:\Python27\Scripts" and you should see pip.exe.

I have installed "python-2.7.16" in my windows 10 PC. PIP is installed under "C:\Python27\Scripts". One can add the "C:\Python27\Scripts" path to environment variable and then access pip command from command prompt.
To add the path in environment variable:
Control Panel\System and Security\System --> Advanced System Settings --> Advanced --> enviroment variables --> under system variable --> Path(variable name)

Had the issue where no matter which version of python 2.7 I installed on windows 10 there was no pip.exe generated in the "Scripts" folder.
I solved it by ensuring that that MSI Installer file had Admin privileges before installing

if pip is not installed you can use easy_install.exe to install pip and other modules
you can find easy install in
python -m easy_install pip

I had the same issue:
Installed Python 27
Tried to use pip, but failed with unrecognized command error
Checked installation: no "C:\Python27\Scripts", only "C:\Python27\Tools\Scripts"
This issue happens only on some versions of Windows.
HOW TO FIX IT:
Uninstall Python 27
Reinstall Python 27, but unselect "pip" feature
Check installation: no "C:\Python27\Scripts" as expected
Start the installer again and use "Change Python"
Set "pip" and "Add Python.exe to Path" features to be installed
Check installation: "C:\Python27\Scripts" is now correctly present
So for some unknown reason, pip is not correctly installed on some versions of Windows if it is installed during default Python 27 setup. To fix this issue, pip must be installed afterwards using the "Change Python" setup.

I meet the same issue when install Python 2.7.9. The installer does not come with pip.
Solution:
Install newer python2 x86 version: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2718/
Then pip is located at C:\Python27\Scripts\pip.exe

It happens on windows as you should have admin rights to install anything on disk C.
I have the same issue Scripts folder was not installed. I would sugest to instal it on disk D.

How to install packages in different version of python?

I have a MacBook Pro that came pre-installed with python2.7. I later installed python3 and ipython notebook. I installed pip too to install packages, and am able to install packages and run program from python3. However, for another project I need to run code in python2.7, and I am not sure how to install it in python2.7 folder.
I tried using pip for installing packages to 2.7, but it kept giving error saying package already exists. When I check for version of python using --version, I see 2 pythons installed. However, when I check for pip and pip3, both seem to be in th same folder.
Any tips on how to install packages in python2.7, without making any changes to 3.3? I am using python3 and ipython notebooks for another project.
viveks-mbp:~ vivekyadav$ which pip
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.3/bin/pip
viveks-mbp:~ vivekyadav$ which pip3
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.3/bin/pip3
viveks-mbp:~ vivekyadav$ which python
/usr/bin/python
viveks-mbp:~ vivekyadav$ which python3
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.3/bin/python3

You can use the virtualenv to create a kind of sandbox.
$ virtualenv <work-directory>
$ source <work-directory>/bin/activate
The last command initiate your virtual environment, totally isolated from the system. So every pip command will install the package inside this directory.
But you have to run your application inside the virtual environment too.

Download python package with dependencies without installing

I need to download a python package with all its dependencies without installing, sneaker-net it to a computer without connection to the internet, and install it there. For example, I want to install buildbot, lettuce, etc.
The computer is a Windows 7 machine, using Python 2.7.
If the package has native extensions, I can build them on the computer.

You can use pip, with the --download option, which will download the main package and its dependancies, without installing them.
pip install --download="/path/to/downloaded/files" sneaker-net
And use these files one the local machine with:
pip install --no-index --find-links=<DIR on local machine> sneaker-net
See pip documentation --download for fast & local installs. You can use pip on Windows with cygwin for example.
