Scripts folder installs empty python 3.10.3

So im pretty new to python and i need pip for something i wanna do, but everytime i install python the Scripts folder where pip should be always installs empty. I make sure that install pip is checked when downloading python. How do I get it to install pip with python?

If you installed Python, it came bundled with pip.
The default packages:
C:\Users\<Your username>\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\Lib\site-packages
A better practice is to install a venv for every project you are working on. Every venv will have its own set of dependencies(i.e. packages), and it will be easier to manage them.
You can find installed packages in your venv:
YOUR_PROJECT_PATH\venv\Lib\site-packages
EDIT
From official docs:
Pip not installed¶ It is possible that pip does not get installed by default. One potential fix is:
python -m ensurepip --default-pip
There are also additional resources

Installing pip and numpy on Unix server without root access

I know this question has been asked and answered a number of times but none of those solutions have worked for me. I have installed Python 2.7 into a local directory and added it to my path. When I try to install numpy i get the following error:
ImportError: No module named setuptools
I cannot simply sudo apt-get install python-setuptools because i don't have root access.
I need to install numpy and ideally have pip working for future applications.

0) Try to install packages that are isolated to the current user, use the --user flag:
pip install --user SomeProject
1a) I agree with #Pi Marillion here, use an isolated conda environment if you don't have root access. This way you keep your path clean.
To install conda:
Since I don't know about your OS, go to https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html
After installation, update your conda (just in case):
conda update conda
To list the installed packages, you can do
conda list
You should see python installed. you can start an interpreter by typing python in the terminal.
There's conda cheat sheet that I found incredibly helpful:
https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/cheatsheet.html
b) Now try installing via pip and I think you might need python 3.x for setuptools.
https://packaging.python.org/tutorials/installing-packages/#id13
2) If this does not work you can still try
https://packaging.python.org/guides/installing-stand-alone-command-line-tools/
Hope this helps :)

First try easy_install --user setuptools pip. If that doesn't work you need to install things manually.
Download setuptools-*.zip from https://pypi.org/project/setuptools/#files. Unzip the archive, cd into the new directory and run python2.7 setup.py install.
Then try pip install. If it still doesn't work reinstall pip: download get-pip.py and run python get-pip.py --user.

Python If I should use pip/pip3 to install/update packages when anaconda is my python organizer?

I was informed that if I have installed anaconda to organize python then I would better install using:
conda install mypackage
rather than
pip3 install mypackage
Is that true? if that is true, can anyone tell some reason for that? version inconsistent or hard to maintain?

You can install your packages with both conda and pip, all of them would work well. The only difference is that conda is Anaconda's package manager, while pip is Python package manager, so there could be some version incompabilities between the packages, installed from different packages into one virtual environment.

Actually there are some difference here:
conda install will install package in your venv environment when you are install under some environment.which may be some thing like: d:/.../venv
while
pip install will install package in some system folder, in my computer is like c:/users/.../
you can definitely change the order of the path in your sys.path to decide which version of package you can use, if you have more than one version installed(if you install numpy
using both conda install and pip install then you may get two versions in two different folders)
There may be some way to put the installed package from pip also in venv folder, I am trying to find it.

Python on anaconda cannot find azure.mgmt.datafactory

I am trying to run this tutorial
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/azure/data-factory/quickstart-create-data-factory-python
but I fail to install the packages. I tried several installations but I keep getting the error No module named 'azure.mgmt.datafactory' when trying to run from azure.mgmt.datafactory import DataFactoryManagementClient.
I am using anaconda and windows 10.
I tried running the recommended anaconda packages https://anaconda.org/anaconda/azure and https://anaconda.org/clinicalgraphics/azure-mgmt-resource under a python 3.5 environment and I also tried to manually install everything from github (https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python) using
git clone git://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python.git
cd azure-sdk-for-python
python setup.py install
In both the normal (Python 3.6) and the new (Python 3.5, using Anaconda version with Python 3.5) environment. None of this worked.
What am I missing?
(Note that from azure.mgmt.resource import ResourceManagementClient worked fine with the anaconda installation)
EDIT
After the first response, I ran the following commands from the powershell
pip install azure-mgmt-resource
pip install azure-mgmt-datafactory
pip install azure-mgmt
which resulted in ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'azure.mgmt'
Uninstalling the three packages and installing azure-mgmt as a first one did not solve the issue either. However, I don't know how to uninstall the manually installed package from python setup.py install, which still might be an issue.

Have you tried pip install in powershell/cmd?
pip install azure-mgmt-datafactory
Update (Jan's answer):
pip freeze > requirements.txt
pip uninstall -r requirements.txt
python -m pip install azure-common
python -m pip install azure-mgmt
python -m pip install azure-mgmt-datafactory (this might not be needed as it comes with azure-mgmt)

Ok, this is how I got the required azure libraries to work (thx to Saul Cruy, who gave me the idea)
Using this post What is the easiest way to remove all packages installed by pip?, I created a requirements file in PowerShell
pip freeze > requirements.txt
In this file, I manually kept only the entries with azure.
Then, I deleted all packages in the file
pip uninstall -r requirements.txt
The steps above were repeated twice, as upon first delete, some azure packages survived.
Then, I ran (all in PowerShell, in that order)
python -m pip install azure-common
python -m pip install azure-mgmt
python -m pip install azure-mgmt-datafactory
The reason might(!) be that installing packages in the anaconda console using the conda commands causes confusion in the dependencies (I tried a similar approach in a conda environment as it seemed like a good idea to seperate the azure packages from the other ones, but without success).

Why does pip fail when installing local egg repository?

I am working on Windows 7.I have created a python egg using distutils. Now I try to install this egg in a virtual environment using pip 1.0.2 using the following command:
Then I create a virtual environment myVirtualEnv I activate it using activate.bat then execute the following command:
pip install path_to_my_local_folder#eggName
This creates a copy of my egg in my myVirtualEnv\build directory but I have the following error:
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: path_of_my_virtualEnv\build\PyEqdR\setup.py
Do you know why pip is looking for the setup.py file. Should I include it in the egg ?

http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/other-tools.html#pip-compared-to-easy-install
pip doesn’t do everything that easy_install does. Specifically:
It cannot install from eggs. It only installs from source.

I just came across this page and since I had the same exact problem, I thought to post the solution that worked for me.
This is an issue with the older versions of pip. My version of pip was 1.5.4. I was not able to find the first version of pip that was able to do it but the current version 6.0.6 does the job.
To update to latest pip version, simply run the following command:
pip install --upgrade pip
Needless to say if you want this to only take effect inside your virtual environment, run it inside the environment. Otherwise, run it globally.
