pip use on Ubuntu 16.04

  • 772

I installed python packages on Ubuntu Trusty using pip and was able to call the installed packages as expected, but on Ubuntu Xenial (installed in a virtual machine) I did the same thing using pip but could not use or see these packages until I installed these same packages via apt-get util.

Now my question are:

  1. Does my running Xenial on a virtual machine change how pip works?
  2. Or is there a change in Xenial on how pip works that I am should be aware of?
  3. I was able to install packages on Trusty based on python2 or python3 and was to install using pip or pip3, so how would this work when I use apt-get to install or can I include version number when installing via apt-get.
apt
