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.
