Beyond the standard library of
modules packaged with Python, other developers have written their own modules
to extend Python’s capabilities even further. The primary way to install
third-party modules is to use Python’s pip tool. This tool securely downloads
and installs Python modules onto your computer from https://pypi.python.org/,
the website of the Python Software Foundation. PyPI, or the Python Package
Index, is a sort of free app store for Python modules.
The pip Tool
The executable file for the pip
tool is called pip on Windows and pip3 on OS X and Linux. On Windows, you can
find pip at C:\Python34\Scripts\pip3.exe.
