Pip & Package Management Python
Pip is the standard package manager for Python. Imagine Pip like an "App Store" (App Store or Play Store) specifically for Python programming language, where you can download and install thousands of additional modules created by the Python community worldwide.
For beginners, Pip is the gateway to Python's greatness. For example, if you want to create beautiful charts, perform complex data analysis, or even create a website, you don't need to write everything from scratch. You simply use Pip to install ready-made "packages", and you can immediately focus on building your application.
What is a Package?
A Package contains all the files you need for a module. A module is a Python code library that you can include in your project.
Check if Pip is Installed
Pip is usually installed along with Python. To check if pip is installed, run the following command in terminal:
pip --version
Installing Packages
Installing packages is very easy. Simply use the install command followed by the package name. For example we will install a popular package named requests:
pip install requests
Using Packages
Once the package is installed, you can use it in your Python code with the import command:
import requests
x = requests.get('https://belajarpython.com')
print(x.status_code)
Viewing Installed Packages List
Use the list command to see all packages that already exist in your system or environment:
pip list
Removing Packages
If you no longer need a package, you can uninstall it:
pip uninstall requests
Searching Packages on PyPI
All Python packages are centrally managed at the PyPI (Python Package Index) site. You can search for thousands of useful packages there before installing them using Pip.
