I've installed easy_install and setuptools in Python 2.7. I'm having a nightmare while installing pip using easy_install pip. I've followed my SO posts and blogs, but still no help.
Following is the error I receive in my Windows cmd:
Searching for pip
Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/pip/
Download error: [Errno 10061] No connection could be made because the target mac
hine actively refused it -- Some packages may not be found!
Couldn't find index page for 'pip' (maybe misspelled?)
Scanning index of all packages (this may take a while)
Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/
Download error: [Errno 10061] No connection could be made because the target mac
hine actively refused it -- Some packages may not be found!
No local packages or download links found for pip
Best match: None

I think during your attempts you have messed up your Python setup somehow. While I am sure that you can get things working with just the CPython installer from python.org (I and many others did this), I strongly recommend to start over (cleanly remove what you have so far) and install one of the Python distributions that have some more features, for example:
They come with several additional packages installed, including pip. Their installer also sets up your Windows PATH properly. So, after running the installer, you can just go ahead, start cmd.exe and run python or pip install ...
The free version of EPD can be found here. I myself have made good experiences with EPD but also with Python(x,y). Here is a list of "plugins" that the standard Python(x,y) installer brings along. Note that for Windows both, EPD and Python(x,y), are only available as 32 Bit version ... however, ActivePython for Windows 64-bit is free (PyPM packages are not free for 64-bit). Depending on your needs, this might not be an issue.
