Python Packages

Earlier we installed packages system-wide using the Ubuntu package manager, apt-get. Now we will install some Python packages locally, into our virtual environment. We will use Pip, the Python package manager. Pip is aware of virtual environments. If you have a virtual environment active when you call Pip, the requested packages will be installed into the active virtual environmentment.
