What's the difference between pip and pip3?
#2
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
Output:
python -m pip install lxml
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
Output:
python3 -m pip install lxml
in order to install it for python 3.
