Learn Python Basics Together π | Day 11
Welcome back to our Python learning series!
In today's lesson, we learn about PIP, Python's official package manager. Instead of writing everything from scratch, Python allows us to use thousands of community-created libraries that can be installed with just a single command.
We'll learn how to check whether PIP is installed, install a package, configure VS Code to use the correct Python interpreter, and use an external package in our Python program.
This video is suitable for:
- 8th Standard
- 9th Standard
- 10th Standard
- 11th Standard
- 12th Standard
- CBSE Board Students
- Python Beginners
Language: English

What We Practiced
In this session we:
- Learned what a package manager does
- Checked the installed PIP version
- Installed a third-party Python package
- Configured VS Code to use the correct interpreter
- Imported the installed package into a Python program
- Converted text into Camel Case using the
camelcasepackage - Understood the difference between system Python and a local virtual environment
Important Learning
Some key takeaways from this video:
π PIP allows you to install thousands of Python libraries created by the Python community.
π Using a virtual environment (.venv) keeps your project's dependencies separate from other Python projects.
π If VS Code cannot find an installed package, make sure you've selected the correct Python interpreter.
These are essential skills for working on real-world Python projects.
Exercise for You
Try these exercises:
β Check your installed PIP version.
β Create a new virtual environment for a Python project.
β Install another package, such as:
requestscoloramatabulate
β Import the package and write a small program using it.
