What's in this Course?

PIP is a tool used to install Python packages and it is a replacement for Easy Install. In additional to allowing you to install packages from the Python Package Index, it also allows you to install packages from public and private git, subversion and mercurial repositories. PIP makes is simple to manage Python packages.

Virtualenv allows you to create virtual environments so you can protect your global Python installation while still having environments set up specifically for the application or project you’re working on. Install packages and configure the environment as you wish and it will be sandboxed and not affect your global Python installation.

In this 17 minute video, Greg Aker shows you how to use both to create a flexible Python development environment.
