Pip is a package manager for Python. It is used to install (and uninstall) packages that you can use later in your Python projects.

You can have pip from Python 2 and Python 3 enabled at the same time. if you have both enabled, you will have to specify which pip you want to use via a number such as pip2 or pip3. Keep in mind that packages installed via pip2 will only be available for projects using Python 2 and vice versa.
