 Setting PYTHONHOME environment variable to 'C:\tools\python3'

And because easy.install fails, so does pip.

Python3.4 ships pip and easy_install. Would you update the python install script to add C:\tools\python3\Scripts to %PATH% and delete pip and easy.install from chocolatey? If I install the python3 msi manually and choose "Add Python to PATH" I get pip, so you can probably accomplish this just by giving it a flag.

Thanks for your efforts. We all rely on them!

(I tried to submit this via https://chocolatey.org/packages/easy.install/ContactOwners, but that's broken too ;))

An addendum!

Somehow (via the .msi?) my user account has ended up with C:\tools\python3\Scripts in its %PATH%, but the System %PATH% does not have it, which is why. I am not sure who is responsible here. My user account is perfectly capable of writing to c:\tools\python3\lib\site-packages (oh dear). It seems like pip should be available in both places, though, and in either case pip and easy.install should defer to python. Maybe they can just be empty packages which simply depend on python?
