===Package Management===
After Python is installed, you can use [[wikipedia:Pip_(package_manager)|pip]] to install your required side packages. pip is included with Python 2.7.9. For older versions, use the following steps to install:
 
# Download [https://raw.github.com/pypa/pip/master/contrib/get-pip.py get-pip.py]
# Execute get-pip by entering the following command: <code style="background-color:#000; color:#fff; padding:1px 3px;">python get-pip.py</code>
 
To install a side package, simply execute the following command: <code style="background-color:#000; color:#fff; padding:1px 3px;">c:\pip install PACKAGE_NAME</code><br/>
Replace PACKAGE_NAME with the name of the package of choice.
 
'''Note:''' By default, side packages are installed in the following folder (Windows):
<pre>C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages</pre>
This location may differ if you have installed Python somewhere else.
