Setuptools & Pip

The most crucial third-party Python software of all is Setuptools, which
69
-
extends the packaging and installation facilities provided by the distutils
70
-
in the standard library. Once you add Setuptools to your Python system you can
71
-
download and install any compliant Python software product with a single
72
-
command. It also enables you to add this network installation capability to
73
-
your own Python software with very little work. Homebrew already installed
74
-
Setuptools for you.
75
-
76
-
Happily, when you ran ``brew install python``, Homebrew also installed **pip**.
77
-
Pip allows for installation and uninstallation of packages, and is actively
78
-
maintained.

Homebrew installs Setuptools and ``pip`` for you.

Setuptools enables you to download and install any compliant Python
71
+
software over a network (usually the Internet) with a single command
72
+
(``easy_install``). It also enables you to add this network installation
73
+
capability to your own Python software with very little work.
74
+
75
+
``pip`` is a tool for easily installing and managing Python packages,
76
+
that is recommended over ``easy_install``. It is superior to ``easy_install`` in `several ways <https://pip.pypa.io/en/1.5.X/other-tools.html#easy-install>`_,
