pip is a replacement for easy_install. It uses mostly the same techniques for finding packages, so packages that were made easy_installable should be pip-installable as well.

Advanced user of pip pythonInitially, when I first started using Python, I was extremely dependent on using the Anaconda command prompt to install Python packages with the command conda install <package name>. However, since several Python packages have dependencies that may not be available in the Anaconda library. Hence, I started concurrently using PIP, which is another Python package manager. The PIP software tool readily resolves python dependencies as it has all the python packages on record!
The thing that irks me the most about PIP and Conda alike is that it is virtually impossible to install a Python package with ease and rapidity in a jupyter notebook. While using commands like pip install and conda install in the jupyter notebook, the jupyter notebook freezes and it takes so long to download and install a package. This is from my personal experiences.
I advice that it is best to have both Anaconda and PIP python package management software in hand.
PIP has really helped me to easily install Python packages through the command prompt, without being worried about dependencies not being resolved and consequent unsuccessful installation of packages, unlike in the case of the Anaconda command prompt.
