install 'pip' package for specific version of Python on Windows

I have on my machine (windows 10) two versions of python: 3.5 2.7
I need to install a package using pip but I want the package on both.

My default version is 3.5.

I try to do this: pip2 install scikit-learn to install it on python 2.7 and I get this error: 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\python27\lib\runpy.py", line 162, in _run_module_as_main
    "__main__", fname, loader, pkg_name)

    import pip.wheel
  File "c:\python27\lib\site-packages\pip\wheel.py", line 27, in <module>
    from pip.download import path_to_url, unpack_url
ImportError: cannot import name unpack_url

I also try this: python2.7 -m pip install scikit-learn or python27 -m pip install scikit-learn and I get this error:

python2.7 : The term 'python2.7' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet,                  function, script file, or operable
program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify   that the path is correct and try agai
At line:1 char:1
+ python2.7 -m pip install scikit-learn
+ ~~~~~~~~~
  + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (python2.7:String) [],           CommandNotFoundException
  + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

I do have python 2.7 on C:\Python27.
What to do?

Thanks allot for the answers, after some try&fail I find 2 different ways to figure it.
1. <PATH-FOR-PYTHON>\scripts\pip.exe install <package name>

2. py -2 -E-m pip install scikit-learn for v3.5 py -3 -E -m pip install scikit-learn for v2.7

On Windows you can use

for python2.x py -2 for python3.x py -3

so it would be 

py -2 -m pip install scikit-learn
py -3 -m pip install scikit-learn

just try py --help for more info

The safest and least frustrating way to go about this is to load independent copies of scikit learn into two virtual environments.

Install by:

$ pip install virtualenv

$ pip install virtualenvwrapper

Then

$ mkvirtualenv --python=<path to python> <name virtualenv>

To run it...

workon <name virtualenv>
