-pip is a replacement for easy_install (from pysetuptools). 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.
-- The code is relatively concise and cohesive, making it easier to use
- programmatically.
-- Packages don't have to be installed as egg archives, they can be
- installed flat (while keeping the egg metadata).
-- Native support for other version control systems (Git, Mercurial and
- Bazaar).
-- Uninstallation of packages.
-- Simple to define fixed sets of requirements and reliably reproduce a set
- of packages.
-
-pip is complementary with virtualenv (can be found at SBo), and it is
-encouraged that you use virtualenv to isolate your installation.
-
-pip requires pysetuptools.
