Thanks for replying..  I believe I am using Python2.7 because I am doing a 
video tutorial python in maya for newbies. 

I don't know where the pip tool is ? So I downloaded and installed 
python2.7 thinking that would also install the pip tool. But I still 
couldnt find anything called pip.  Maybe the Python command window is the 
same thing ?
