Comment on Getting Started with Python - Installing Packages

Comments

Pip is an awesome tool for Python development and deployment. One of the great things is its ability to use version control commits and tags as packages, as well as tarballs, and PyPi.

You're slightly ahead of my next post which calls out some of the more advanced ways of using it.

I'm surprised every time I hear Python users claiming unfamiliarity with pip. Until it's as familiar to folks as indoor plumbing, the more pip publicity and tutorials the better.

Oops! Didn't mean to steal your thunder, just happy about pip's flexibility in that regard!

No worries, fully agree more people need to be using and using it to what its capable of.
