- globular-toast 2y agoI keep meaning to write a blog post about this. "pip install x" basically should be read as "this project is packaged and available on PyPI" rather than a literal installation instruction. A seasoned Python developer will rarely, if ever, directly pip install something. Instead they would manually add it to pyproject.toml or, if they use something like poetry, use that to add it, or they'd use something like pipx to install it as a "global" tool (or just their system package manager). This has been true for years now. I think it's time projects stop writing "pip install x" and we come up with a standard way to say "the package name is x" and maybe a recommended installation method (like use uv/pipx to install as a system tool, or add to your project dependencies etc).
