External packages in python
- When we install python, we get standard library
- Now lets assume i want to write python code to get list of s3 buckets in aws account. AWS gives a package (package is set of python modules organized in folders)
-
As part of python installation we get package manager (pip/pipx) and all the python public packages are hosted online on pypi.org
-
When we install packages there are different levels
- system specific
- project specific => we create its own environment which is referred as virtual environment
Lets create a new python project to get list of s3 buckets
