pip install development dependencies

When developing software, it's common to have dependencies that are only needed during the development and testing phase. These dependencies might include testing frameworks, code analysis tools, or documentation generators. Managing these development dependencies efficiently is crucial for a smooth development workflow.
In the Python ecosystem, pip is the package installer that helps manage Python packages, including dependencies. In this tutorial, we'll explore how to use pip to install development dependencies for your Python projects.

Using a virtual environment is a good practice to isolate your project's dependencies. If you don't have virtualenv installed, you can install it using:
Now, create a virtual environment for your project:
Add your runtime dependencies along with any development dependencies you need for testing, code coverage, linting, etc.
Run the following command to install both runtime and development dependencies:
Run the tests using:
When you're done working on your project, deactivate the virtual environment:
Happy coding!
