I am about to give up - I've been racking my brain and searching the web for too long....every time I think I have a solution, I end up back at the same place. It might just be that I have to have an administrator on my corporate laptop install things....as I cannot change the system path. Although, it does appear to have python in the path as illustrated below.
I also feel like my corporate set up is creating confusion between where the python executable is stored and where the modules, etc are saved. For example, my python 3.5 executable is saved here: C:\Program Files\Python35 and there is a scripts subfolder by everything in the is a shortcut to another network location...
In the Scripts folder, there are 3 pip shortcuts, pip, pip3.5, and pip3. Not sure why there are 3 - maybe there are 3 due to all my attempts to get it to work.
As an example, I am trying to install pyodbc and am getting the following errors:
