I've responded to this problem in the ActiveState forum.

so i uninstalled activepython, and I wanna install pip [...] I have installed setuptools, [...] I downloaded distribute

There is no reason why have to uninstall ActivePython. Even if pypm doesn't work, ActivePython already includes pip (among setuptools/distribute/easy_install).

pip [is] supposed to be an alternative to pypm

pip and pypm complement each other; the former allows you to compile the packages yourself (slow and unreliable process especially on Windowds), while the later allows you to install pre-built binary packages. See How is PyPM related to pip and easy_install?

tl;dr - let's fix your pypm problem, and you'll be happy for it.

easy_install pip
pip install django
pip install whatever you like

all in terminal
