Setuptools + Pip
----------------
The most crucial third-party Python software of all is Setuptools, which
extends the packaging and installation facilities provided by the distutils in
the standard library. Once you add Setuptools to your Python system you can
download and install any compliant Python software product with a single
command. It also enables you to add this network installation capability to
your own Python software with very little work.
The two most crucial third-party Python packages are `setuptools <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools>`_ and `pip <https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/>`_.
To obtain the latest version of Setuptools for Windows, run the Python script
available here: `ez_setup.py <https://bootstrap.pypa.io/ez_setup.py>`_
Once installed, you can download, install and uninstall any compliant Python software
product with a single command. It also enables you to add this network installation
capability to your own Python software with very little work.
Python 2.7.9 and later (on the python2 series), and Python 3.4 and later include
pip by default.
You'll now have a new command available to you: **easy_install**. It is
considered by many to be deprecated, so we will install its replacement:
**pip**. Pip allows for uninstallation of packages, and is actively maintained,
unlike easy_install.
To see if pip is installed, open a command prompt and run
To install pip, run the Python script available here:
`get-pip.py <https://raw.github.com/pypa/pip/master/contrib/get-pip.py>`_
.. code-block:: console
$ command -v pip
To install pip, `follow the official pip installation guide <https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/installing/>`_ - this will automatically install the latest version of setuptools.
