Python PIP
What is PIP?
PIP is a Python package package manager, or modules if you prefer.
Note: If you have a version of Python 3.4 or later, PIP is installed automatically.
What is a Package?
The package contains all the files you need to get the module.
Python code library modules that you can add to your project.
Check if PIP is Installed
Navigate to your command line to the Python directory, then type the following:
Example
Check PIP version:
C:\Users\Your Name\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\Scripts>pip --version
Install PIP
If you do not have a PIP installed, you can download it and install it on this page: https://pypi.org/project/pip/
Download a Package
Downloading the package is very easy.
Open the command line interface and tell PIP to download the package you want.
Navigate to your command line to the Python directory, then type the following:
Example
Download a package named "camelcase":
C:\Users\Your Name\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\Scripts>pip
install camelcase
Now download and install your first package!
Using a Package
Once the package is installed, it is ready for use.
Import the "camelcase" package into your project.
Example
Import and use "camelcase":
import camelcase
c = camelcase.CamelCase()
txt = "hello world"
print(c.hump(txt))
Find Packages
Find more packages at https://pypi.org/.
Remove a Package
Example
Uninstall the package named "camelcase":
C:\Users\Your Name\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\Scripts>pip
uninstall camelcase
The PIP Package Manager will ask you to confirm that you want to delete the camel package:
Uninstalling camelcase-02.1:
Would remove:
c:\users\Your Name\appdata\local\programs\python\python36-32\lib\site-packages\camecase-0.2-py3.6.egg-info
c:\users\Your Name\appdata\local\programs\python\python36-32\lib\site-packages\camecase\*
Proceed (y/n)?
Press y and the package will be released.

Use the list command to list all packages included in your system:
Example
List installed packages:
C:\Users\Your Name\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\Scripts>pip list
