Python Packaging

Christoph Haas discusses virtualenv, easy_install, pip, apt/yum https://workaround.org/easy-install-debian

Stackoverflow says use pip over easy_install, but things have been changing over the past few years, so the future/best practice may require a bit more digging.

Basic PIP

• Installing a package is as simple as sudo pip install foo
• Upgrades are sudo pip install --upgrade foo
• sudo pip uninstall foo if you want to remove foo
