What's the difference between pip and pip3? - magic - Sep-13-2018 Pip is for python version less than 3. and pip3 is used when you want to install packages for python version 3 or higher. Is this correct? RE: What's the difference between pip and pip3? - Gribouillis - Sep-13-2018 Yes it is true on systems such as linux which have python 2 and python 3 installed, but you can invoke pip through the python interpreter by using the syntax python -m pip . For example you can install lxml with the command instead of pip install lxml . If 'python' is the command for python 2, this installs lxml for python 2. If 'python3' is the command for python 3, you can use in order to install it for python 3.

IF python3 is your only python and python3 and python can both start it, then there is no difference. If python starts legacy python and python3 starts, well, python 3 then pip will install for legacy python and pip3 or your python3 example will install for python 3. RE: What's the difference between pip and pip3? - snippsat - Sep-13-2018 Test with pip -V or pip2 -V | pip3 -V It's so simple that if pip3 point to Python 3,then pip3 will install to Python 3 .Linux Mint 19: tom@tom-VirtualBox:~$ pip2 -V pip 9.0.1 from /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (python 2.7) tom@tom-VirtualBox:~$ pip3 -V pip 18.0 from /home/tom/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pip (python 3.6) # Install to Python 2 tom@tom-VirtualBox:~$ pip2 install lxml # Install to Python 3 tom@tom-VirtualBox:~$ pip3 install --user lxml Collecting lxm .... lxml-4.2.5-cp36-cp36m-manylinux1_x86_64.whl Installing collected packages: lxml Successfully installed lxml-4.2.5 # Test that it work: tom@tom-VirtualBox:~$ python3 Python 3.6.5 (default, Apr 1 2018, 05:46:30) [GCC 7.3.0] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> from lxml import etree >>> etree.__version__ '4.2.5'For Windows: Python 3.6/3.7 and pip installation under Windows Here do pip pip3 and pip3.7 all point to main version in Path.
