How to install pip on wine?

Question

I fail to install pip by:

# install wine and python
sudo apt-get install wine winetricks
winetricks python

# try to install pip
winetricks pip

BTW, there is no pip.exe under Python26/Scripts.

~/.wine/drive_c/Python26/Scripts$ ls
pywin32_postinstall.py  pywin32_postinstall.pyc  pywin32_postinstall.pyo

Solution

Newer Python versions already include pip. Choose the proper version from Download Python (for me, python-2.7.10.msi) and install it on wine by:

$ wine msiexec /i python-2.7.10.msi/L*v log.txt

To install Python packages on wine, for instance,

$ wine python.exe Scripts/pip.exe install pyinstaller

Successfully installed pyinstaller-3.1.1 pypiwin32-219

Refer to this post Build a Windows executable from Python scripts on Linux for the detailed description.

You could install newer Python versions that already include pip: wine msiexec /i python-X.Y.Z.msi /L*v log.txt
