newbie installing pip distribute

Question

I am trying to install distribute which is a required for installing pip(needed to use django-selectable functions).

I am following this tutorial.

I downloaded distribute and ran distribute_setup.py , but now I don't know where to go, to have my pip installed.

They say:

If your shell has the curl program you can do:

$ curl -O http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py
$ python distribute_setup.py

I guess I don't have curl program, my Python shell doesn't recognize curl.

Any help would be appreciated.

You don't use curl from your python shell, you use it from the terminal
