I think Ryan may have typed that command at a Python prompt rather than a system command prompt. Unfortunately the distinction often isn't clear in examples, because the experienced developers writing the instructions are used to guessing which commands are Python and which are system commands. One thing I'd quite like to see Python grow is a standard function to install packages from inside Python. In R, the install.packages() function is the default way to get third party packages, and I think staying in one interactive prompt does make things easier for new users to understand. Thomas
