Installing Packages Using pip and Creating requirements.txt Files

The most up-to-date of the package management tools that ships with Python is called pip. It is a command-line tool that installs third-party packages from the PyPI package repository.

This lesson is part of a larger course about pipenv.

When you install a package using pip, the package goes in the site-packages directory of your interpreter’s installation. This is problematic if you’re managing multiple projects that require different versions of the same package. Virtual environments are a solution to this problem.

Great voice and beautiful sense of humour! Couldn't help smirking at each sentence you spoke while effortlessly typing out in the Python command line prompt. This lesson was extremely useful and slickly taught. Thank you!!
