Python packages

Python is a general-purpose language. It follows the philosophy of “batteries included,” which means that there is a standard library that is available, without making the user download separate packages. However, the standard library modules only provide the bare minimum functionality. Based on the specific use case you are working on, additional packages may need to be installed. The official third-party repository for Python packages is called PyPI, which stands for Python Package Index. It hosts Python packages both as source distribution and pre-compiled code. Currently, there are more than 113,000 Python packages hosted at PyPI. The easiest way to install additional packages is through the pip package management system. pip is a nerdy recursive acronym, which are abundant in Python culture. pip stands for Pip Installs Python. The good news is that starting from version 3.4 of Python, pip is installed by default. To check the version of pip, you...
