Trouble with pip install selenium - python-2.7

I have Vista(please avoid comment ;D)... I'm sure of the right install of pip because I have installed other package but when I try to install selenium by pip that's the result.:
C:\Program Files\Python2.7.6>pip install selenium
Downloading/unpacking selenium Running setup.py
(path:c:\users\gianlu~1\appdata\local\temp\pip_build_Gianluca
«\selenium\setup.py) egg_info for package selenium
Cleaning up...
The line below are in red(this is my comment)

I'm new of Phyton and that is over for me. The only thing that I can suppose and investigate is that the matter is about the last line "Unicode...".
Thank you for any suggestion.

Yes, really a bad question. I was very tired after a code marathon ;D. Starting from my edit of investigate the unicode error and only after a few hours of sleep I find a lot of intresting and working solution. Here the more considerable and useful link:
Python ez_install : UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xae in position 11
UnicodeDecodeError : 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe0 in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)

I can see your Python version is Ok (2.7).
You may need to run gcloud init before trying to update.
If the issue persists or you already ran the aforementioned command, it would be faster to reinstall gcloud. Current version was released today (198.0.0).

Python wrapper install gives "Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1"

I've been trying to install this Python wrapper for the past two days. I went through all the other questions here on Stack Overflow. Tried literally everything, and nothing seems to work.

----------------------------------------
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /private/tmp/pip-twPZdY-build/
I've reinstalled everything at least twice, updated, tried sudo -H, but nothing seems to work. It seems like a problem with setuptools, but I have no idea how to fix it.
Mac OSX 10.11.6 (El Capitan)
Python 2.7.13
Pip 9.0.1
After carefully reading through the error message, I managed to find the file called ffi_build.py under the Python folder I was trying to bind. As stated in the error message, at line 34 there was a module naming statement that contained a '/'. By replacing that '/' with a '.' I solved the issue and managed to bind the Python wrapper with no issue whatsoever.

I have been searching the solution but I can not get the solution.
I have tried :
Reinstall using "pip install spyder"
Reinstall using "conda install spyder"
How do I fix it. If you give me some ideas, I can really appreciate for this.
Thanks.
I also had some problems with Spyder 3 on Ubuntu 14.04. So I uninstalled it and reinstalled Spyer 2, which then worked just fine for me. If you don't mind using Spyder 2, you can run the following command to see if it works for you
conda install -c spyder-ide spyder=2.3.9

running pip gives UnicodeEncodeError

I just reinstalled python and pip, but when i run the command pip i should expect to see the help info for pip commands. instead i get this:

UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xf8' in position 11:

i have had python 3.4 installed before this but wanted to change to 2.7. on 3.4 pip were running fine, but there were some issues with django on python3.4
edit: user folder contains non-ascii character. This worked with python 3.4 but not with 2.7
Created a new user with ascii compliant characters. Pip now works fine with no errors.

I'm using python 3.3 and Windows XP(32x).
I tried to install setuptools.
I write in command line:

Something went wrong during the installation.
See the error message above.
I am also using python 2.7, but I want to install setuptools for python 3.3.
I open my file with IDE and run it(because if you run code from cmd and you have both python2 and python3 it will run with python2 and iif you run it from IDE for python3 it will run in python3).
I really don't know if my explanation is true(because I don't have python2 on path), but I know that some files only work when you run it with IDE, and some only with cmd(or graphical).
