How to add/use libraries in Python (3.5.1)

Question

I've recently been playing around with python and have now expanded into doing stuff like scraping through websites and other cool stuff and I need to import new libraries for these things like lxml, pandas, urllib2 and such. So I have Python 3.5.1 installed and is also using Wing IDE. I (think) also managed to install pip using this tutorial, but then got lost after the

Run python get-pip.py

part.

So how would I go about installing those libraries to try new projects? Thanks!

open up a command window and type `pip install lxml` ... – Joran Beasley Dec 21 '15 at 03:41 — Joran Beasley, Dec 21 '15 at 03:41
Python 3.5 comes with pip already installed. – OneCricketeer Dec 21 '15 at 03:42 — OneCricketeer, Dec 21 '15 at 03:42

python 3.5 comes with pip already, to install something with it, open a cmd and do python -m pip install library to install your desire library and if you want the help on the command do python -m pip --help

thanks! this works. but I get some erorr when trying to install most libraries and the solution seems to be to install VS2015, the free one should be fine right. And then an error I get when trying to install BeautifulSoup about how there is a missing paranthesis, how can I fix that? – Hello Mellow Dec 21 '15 at 04:45
I don't know, I also have some problems installing numpy, but because I really don't need it yet I don't have search for a solution, sorry I can't help you more. – Copperfield Dec 21 '15 at 14:08
recently I install the anaconda distribution of python, it has included numpy that is the way I find to get it, it also has BeautifulSoup and many more cool stuff, you can try that :) – Copperfield Dec 23 '15 at 18:54

if u have or you can create a file requirements.txt which contains the libraries that you want to install for ex:

numpy==1.14.2
Pillow==5.1.0

You gonna situate in your folder which contains that requirements.txt in my case the path to my project is

C:\Users\LE\Desktop\Projet2_Sig_Exo3\exo 3\k-means

now just type

python -m pip install -r ./requirements.txt

and all the libararies that you want gonna install

C:\Users\LE\Desktop\Projet2_Sig_Exo3\exo 3\k-means>python -m pip install -r ./requirements.txt
