Installing 3rd Party packages,, Pip or Pip-Win?

[AdamCrateau1]

Does anyone have any experience with PIP, or Pip-Win for installing/managing third-party packages?  I would like to utilize 'reportlab', an OSS package for creating PDFs.  Currently, my only python interpreter/installation is c:\python27\ArcGIS10.2\.   Do I need a separate Python installation to add a package such as reportlab or mathplotlib?  My end goal is to utilize reportlab within ArcMap, using a custom script.

You do not need any additional python installations other than the one specified for ArcMap.  The one currently shipped with ArcMap is 2.7.  Make sure that the packages that you are installing are for version 2.7 as well.  There is no need for pip either if you are on a windows machine considering that reportlab comes with an EXE.  The following EXE should be the one that you are looking for.

The following pages should have the EXE files that you may want to look at:
