I just downloaded the 3.11.5 64-bit installer for Windows from
python.org and ran it. This was an upgrade since I already had 3.11.4
installed. I had installed for me as a user rather than for "everyone"
so it installed into %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\.
The Scripts folder is at
C:\Users\tom\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\Scripts
I checked and the installer did update the pip.exe and pip3.exe files.
in this Scripts directory.
So ... presumably you downloaded and ran the Windows 64-bit installer,
is that right? Did you install it for "everyone" or just for you? Did
you notice any error messages during installation? Did you do a
standard install or did you customize it in some way? Exactly where is
the "Scripts" directory in which you found "nothing"? Was the "py"
launcher installed - that is, can you run Python 3.11.5 by typing "py"?
If so, can you run pip by typing
py -m pip
(this is the most reliable way to run pip, by the way, because it always
runs the version of pip that is installed for the latest install of Python).
