pip

===
|
|
|
|
pip is a tool for installing and managing Python packages, such as those
|
|
found in the `Python Package Index <http://pypi.python.org/pypi>`_.
|
|
|
|
pip is a replacement for `easy_install
|
|
<http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall>`_. It mostly
|
|
uses the same techniques for finding packages, so packages that are
|
|
easy_installable should be pip-installable as well. This means that
|
|
you can use ``pip install SomePackage`` instead of ``easy_install
|
|
SomePackage``.
|
|
|
|
In order to use pip, you must first install `setuptools
|
|
<http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools>`_ or `distribute
|
|
<http://pypi.python.org/pypi/distribute>`_. If you use `virtualenv
|
|
<http://www.virtualenv.org>`_, a copy of pip will be automatically be
|
|
installed in each virtual environment you create.
