You have to wade through an awful lot of that page before you see the
2014 update ...

"To install or upgrade pip, securely download get-pip.py. [1]

Then run the following (which may require administrator access):

python get-pip.py"


[1] https://raw.github.com/pypa/pip/master/contrib/get-pip.py

That link brings up a page which is python code explained in the
docstring at the top. I just bought a Windows 8.1 laptop and used it to
install pip. I right-clicked and saved the page as get-pip.py

Then, I opened an administrator prompt and did ...

python get-pip.py

... and it just worked. A little unconventional but much easier than I
remember from earlier times.
