pip freeze doesn't show anything in Windows installation?

Viewed 13695

I have Python27 installed in Windows 7

I am trying to build a reddit bot using this tutorial

I found instructions on how to install pip for windows from here

The page says that after installing pip, I can use pip freeze to check if the installation went correctly

It says pip freeze should display some information as shown below

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.2.9200] (c) 2012 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\Users\Username>cd c:\Python27\Scripts

c:\Python27\Scripts>pip freeze
antiorm==1.1.1
enum34==1.0
requests==2.3.0 virtualenv==1.11.6

However pip freeze doesn't show me anything at all enter image description here

Did pip install correctly, or is there any problem? Is there any other way i can test proper installation?

windows is a confusing piece of software if your coming from a Linux background... the solution that worked for me is the following

pip list

The problem you are facing is that if you only have de default packages in your installation lets say pip, wheel, pip freeze does not have anything to freeze at the moment so that's why dont show anything. try to install a new package then run the command again.
