"A convenient way to install Python packages"

4.5/5

What do you like best about pip python?

Initially, when I first started using Python, I was extremely dependent on using the Anaconda command prompt to install Python packages with the command conda install <package name>. However, since several Python packages have dependencies that may not be available in the Anaconda library. Hence, I started concurrently using PIP, which is another Python package manager. The PIP software tool readily resolves python dependencies as it has all the python packages on record! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about pip python?

The thing that irks me the most about PIP and Conda alike is that it is virtually impossible to install a Python package with ease and rapidity in a jupyter notebook. While using commands like pip install and conda install in the jupyter notebook, the jupyter notebook freezes and it takes so long to download and install a package. This is from my personal experiences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering pip python:

I advice that it is best to have both Anaconda and PIP python package management software in hand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is pip python solving and how is that benefiting you?

PIP has really helped me to easily install Python packages through the command prompt, without being worried about dependencies not being resolved and consequent unsuccessful installation of packages, unlike in the case of the Anaconda command prompt. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Most necessary support library for Python"

3.5/5

What do you like best about pip python?

Facilitate the installation of the Python library "step." Pip is simple and can get it up and running with the Python packages you need quickly. I like Python more because this package manager allows me to run my Python programs efficiently and cleanly. Necessary dependencies Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about pip python?

Maybe a better GUI. It does much less to resolve version inconsistencies, often messing up package versions while installing a new one. No, there's nothing not to like. Sometimes you have to download the content and use pip to install it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering pip python:

Pip is, without a doubt, necessary whenever working with Python, because without using pip, if you manually install any library for Python, you will end up using Python. Also combine it with VirtualEnv for a great setup. Look at PIP or CONDA. Instead, pip makes it very simple to install, update, or uninstall any Python library within clicks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is pip python solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is a quite refined library and works very well. The most common installations, like numpy, scipy, pandas, etc. The benefits I notice are faster scheduling and reduction of engineering backhaul. It can be handled by pip. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
