Note that your instructions start with downloading the installer for 2.7.0, whereas the latest version of 2.7 is 2.7.14, which includes pip.

backports is a strange beast of a package, which tries to emulate Python 3's namespace packages in Python 2.  To do so, backports.__init__ must have a very specific incantation, which yours is lacking (it only contains "from __future__ import absolute_import").  See https://pypi.org/project/backports/ for more details.
