I have just started learning python from How to Think Like a Computer Scientist. It requires me to install 'swampy' (http://www.greenteapress.com/thinkpython/swampy/install.html) which requires me to install 'pip' (https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/installing.html). I think I was able to somehowinstall pip, but am unable to install swampy.
When i run 'pip install swampy' in windows command prompt, I get an error:

E:\>pip install swampy
Fatal error in launcher: Unable to create process using '""E:\Program Files\Pyth
on 2.7.6\pythonw.exe"" "E:\Program Files\Python 2.7.6\Scripts\pip.exe" install s
wampy'
When I run 'pip install swampy' in IDLE (Python 2.7.6 Shell), I get thefollowing error:
Python 2.7.6 (default, Nov 10 2013, 19:24:18) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information.
with the word install highlighted in red.
I have installed pip by opening it in IDLE & running it from there. A new folder 'Scripts' was created in the Python installation directory 'E:\Program Files\Python 2.7.6' with the following files:
easy_install-2.7.exe
easy_install.exe
pip2.7.exe
pip2.exe
pip.exe
I have added 'E:\Program Files\Python 2.7.6' & 'E:\Program Files\Python 2.7.6\Scripts' to the 'path' variable in Environment Variables in Windows.
I have added 'E:\Program Files\Python 2.7.6\Scripts' to the 'PYTHONPATH' variable in Environment Variables in Windows.
I have read a lot online trying to get it work, but now I am lost in the technical jargons. I might have missed some steps or done something incorrectly.
Please let me know where I went wrong or guide me on how to install swampy.
Thanks.
Ronak.
