Save this into a file named, say, django-requirements. Then assuming you have pip and virtualenv installed , run the following:. A number of packages on PyPI have binary eggs for Windows uploaded.

Setuptools which includes install are also generally installed through Pip , via downloadable packages, if you need to install them manually. Using Pip is remarkably easy once you know the name of the package you want to install. In this case, we are going to be installing Pillow , a popular Python imaging library. Note how Pip automatically locates the wheel file appropriate for our system, in this case, Pillow It also detected that we ran it as a regular user instead of as root and installed Pillow for this user only.
We can skip this step if we are installing a program as root for every user on the machine:. The output is more verbose, but it tells us a couple of essential things.
Second, we can see how, although only a Wheel. While the choice used to be more difficult in the past, the idea is obvious now; Pip should be our go-to solution whenever possible. It is explicitly designed to take as much of the setup effort out of your hands as possible.

Just import requests! Need to talk to a MySQL database? Import the mysql. Need to fly? Just import antigravity! Sadly, Python eggs have several disadvantages:. Only a single version of a package can be installed in a given directory.
This is especially troublesome if different parts of your application require different versions of the same package. It provides no support for clean uninstallation or upgrades. Trying to install distribute will just install setuptools instead.
The various incomplete bits of documentation on installing, using, and building packages have been replaced by the Python Packaging User Guide. Python's own documentation on Installing Python Modules now defers to this user guide, and explicitly calls out pip as "the preferred installer program". For example, pip makes it easy to clone your site-packages by building a requirements file and then installing it with a single command on each side.
Or to convert your requirements file to a local repo to use for in-house development. And so on. But consider that in another 5 years, my answer will be as out of date as all the others, while Daniel Roseman's is timeless. Also, my answer wouldn't be as good if it couldn't rely on pointing at a 5-year-old accepted answer that demonstrates why the Python community got behind pip in the intervening time.
It's worth noting that some packaged versions of pip were buggy, and pip failed to upgrade itself. But Christoph Gohlke's binaries used to be distributed as executable eggs. Add a comment. Nick T Matthew Rankin Matthew Rankin k 38 38 gold badges silver badges bronze badges.
OTOH, the second graphic has been outdated for a year. A basic installer named pysetup is provided as part or distutils2, and pip will continue to provide additional features on top of distutils2 in the future. As of March distribute is merging back with setuptools. This "answer" is so out of date and just wrong it's not even funny.
Show 4 more comments. Two reasons, there may be more: pip provides an uninstall command if an installation fails in the middle, pip will leave you in a clean state. Ned Batchelder Ned Batchelder k 69 69 gold badges silver badges bronze badges.
So does setuptoools now. Seriously, I use this in conjunction with virtualenv every day. Matthew Schinckel Matthew Schinckel This seems to be part of setuptools now as well: pythonhosted. It will give only the libraries related to the project where you are calling pipreqs, so that requirements.
Interesting, I never thought of that. Is that an indication of needing a gcc environment on windows, rather than insisting pip installs pre-built binaries? The "right" compiler to use for Windows is Visual Studio i believe for recent versions of Python.
Installing this, even the free version, is a hassle. The normal way of installing C extensions on Windows is from pre-compiled binaries. In the years since the above answer was given, it's now no longer true that pip can't install binary packages, on Windows or on other platforms. The wheel binary distribution format makes that possible. Many third-party packages with C extension modules are now also being distributed as wheels built for various platforms and pip can automatically install them.
See, for instance, pythonwheels. Why isn't this upvoted more? The answers are so outdated! As an addition to fuzzyman's reply: pip won't install binary packages and isn't well tested on Windows. Here is the latest update: The new supported way to install binaries is going to be wheel! I promised to build wheels for PySide , and I did that last summer. Works great!

I should update this, again, because wheel has become the standard in spring
