How to install pip for python 3.3 on Windows?

Question

I have to install python 3.3.5 particularly to use the api for OriginPro. However, when I try to install pip installation manager by downloading the get-pip.py and run it in python from cmd prompt, I get the following error

C:\Users\hsurdi\Documents>python get-pip.py

Where/how do I get pip for python 3.3.5?

Even if you could install `pip` for Python 3.3 — what would you install with that `pip`? Most packages at PyPI now require Python 3.4+, some 3.5+. — phd, Jun 27 '19 at 21:47
do the basics like numpy, scipy etc need python 3.4+? And I specifically want to install [PyOriginTools](https://github.com/swharden/PyOriginTools) — Harshad Surdi, Jun 27 '19 at 21:57

pip dropped support for Python 3.3 at version 18.0. setuptools (required by pip) dropped support for Python 3.3 at version 40.0. So you need to download pip 10.0.1 and setuptools 39.2.0 (source distributions, *.tar.gz). Extract the archives and run python setup.py install first for setuptools, then for pip.

As for the latest versions of numpy and scipy, let's us see.

Numpy: https://pypi.org/project/numpy/
Requires: Python >=2.7, !=3.0.*, !=3.1.*, !=3.2.*, !=3.3.*

scipy: https://pypi.org/project/scipy/
Requires: Python >=3.5

See? You will need to do research to find out versions compatible with Python 3.3.
