The PyPA recommended tool for installing and managing Python packages.
|
|
|
|
pip is a replacement for easy_install. It uses mostly the same techniques
|
|
for finding packages, so packages that were made easy_installable should
|
|
be pip-installable as well.
|
|
|
|
pip is meant to improve on easy_install. Some of the improvements:
|
|
|
|
* All packages are downloaded before installation. Partially-completed
|
|
installation doesn't occur as a result.
|
|
* Care is taken to present useful output on the console.
|
|
* The reasons for actions are kept track of. For instance, if a package
|
|
is being installed, pip keeps track of why that package was required.
|
|
* Error messages should be useful.
|
|
* Packages don't have to be installed as egg archives, they can be
|
|
installed flat (while keeping the egg metadata).
