Home-page: Author: Kenneth Reitz Author-email: me@kennethreitz.com License: Apache 2.0 Location: /Users/akuchling/envs/tutorial-env/lib/python3.4/site-packages Requires\n\npython -m pip list will display all of the packages installed in the virtual environment\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```console\n(tutorial-env) $ python -m pip list\nnovas (3.1.1.3)\nnumpy (1.9.2)\npip (7.0.3)\nrequests (2.7.0)\nsetuptools (16.0)\n```\n\npython -m pip freeze will produce a similar list of the installed packages, but the output uses the format that python -m pip install expects. A common convention is to put this list in a requirements.txt file\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```console\n(tutorial-env) $ python -m pip freeze > requirements.txt\n(tutorial-env) $ cat requirements.txt\nnovas==3.1.1.3\nnumpy==1.9.2\nrequests==2.7.0\n```\n\nThe requirements.txt can then be committed to version control and shipped as part of an application. Users can then install all the necessary packages with install -r\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```console\n(tutorial-env) $ python -m pip install -r requirements.txt\nCollecting novas==3.1.1.3 (from -r requirements.txt (line 1))\n...\nCollecting numpy==1.9.2 (from -r requirements.txt (line 2))\n...\nCollecting requests==2.7.0 (from -r requirements.txt (line 3))\n...\nInstalling collected packages: novas, numpy, requests\nRunning setup.py install for novas\nSuccessfully installed novas-3.1.1.3 numpy-1.9.2 requests-2.7.0\n```\n\npip has many more options. Consult the installing-index guide for complete documentation for pip. When you've written a package and want to make it available on the Python Package Index, consult the Python packaging user guide_.\n\nAttribution: Adapted from Python Documentation under PSF-2.0.
