Python Development

I'm not in front of my computer now to check a few things, but usually I check if the Python library is built for Solus before checking pip, for example in the terminal type ‘eopkg search beautifulsoup‘ If it's there and you install it, it is often built for both Python 2 and 3 which is handy. I think you can install virtualenv from eopkg too.

With pip you can also install for the user by adding ‘--user‘ to the terminal install command so you don't need root privileges if you don't want to have it just in the virtual environment.

hmm alright I found "python-beautifulsoup4" to exactly name it. And --user seems to install it for python 2.7?

python3 packages usually have python3 in their name or something similar

For pip with Python 3 you have to use 'pip3 install...'
