If there's only one Python 3 installed then "pip3 install ..." _ought_ to be equivalent. However, in the face of virtualenvs etc there may often be several pip3s. Using "python3 -m pip install ..." ensures that you are using the pip which is associated with "python3" (which you can adjust to be whichever python3 you intend). This is why the "-m pip" form is recommended: it definitely installs in the Python you'd be running. Cheers, Cameron Simpson <c...@cskk.id.au> -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
