Package management in Python

Python don't have a package manager like npm for Node. It does have pip and virtualenv though.

pip install virtualenv

Create a new environment

virtualenv venv --distribute
source venv/bin/activate

Now python, pip etc will refer t the virtual environment.

Alternative:

virtualenv ENV

Now use ENV/bin/python, ENV/bin/pip etc. to run python programs and install packages
