I installed Cygwin today and forgot to install the PIP package for Python 2.7.

Looking online, I found that you could install the PIP package by re-running the Cygwin installation .exe.  However, re-running the .exe took a LOT longer than I expected.

It is 100% faster downloading and executing get-pip.py from the following location:

Execute “python -m pip –version” to verify your version!
