Hi everyone, this is my first post here. I've been using Python occasionally to accomplish some specific tasks but now I decided to study it more seriously.
I am successfully using both Python 2.6.2 and Python 3.2.2 instaled on Windows. I installed 2.6.2 back in 2009. and 3.2.2 came along with the VPyton 5.74 MSI installer. There was no problems but today I decided to install Python 2.7.11 as the latest pre-3.x.x version and the first thing I noticed was the 'Scripts' folder which was not present in earlier versions, containing: easy_install.exe easy_install-2.7.exe pip.exe pip2.exe pip2.7.exe So my question is - which one should I use to install the Python packages? Should I just use pip, of pip2 or pip2.7 and what is the difference? Typing: pip list in command prompt says: >pip list pip (7.1.2) setuptools (18.2) You are using pip version 7.1.2, however version 8.1.2 is available. You should consider upgrading via the 'python -m pip install --upgrade pip' command. >pip2 list and >pip2.7 list results in exactly the same - what is then purpose of three different 'pip*.exe' executables? I noticed both easy_install files are of the same size (89.448 bytes) and all 3 of the pip files are of the same size (89.420 bytes) as well. In fact, easy_install.exe and easy_install-2.7.exe are exactly the same compared by binary compare utility, and pip, pip2 & pip2.7 are exactly the same up to the single byte :-/ I am assuming multiple copies of the same file with different names are because of some compatibility issues but couldn't find any explanations so I hope someone can point me to some docs explaining the issue. -- Let There Be Light Custom LED driveri prema specifikacijama http://tinyurl.com/customleddriver Chupo -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
