Introduction to Python packages

- [Instructor] Let's now try to show the route un-ah-ma.…For this, we're going to use a package called folium…which uses the open street map project below the hood.…Let's try to import it.…We'll write import, folium, and execute.…And it seems like it's not there.…One of Python's mottos is batteries included…which means you get a lot of useful packages…included in the standard library.…However, sometimes we'd like packages…that are not in the standard library.…Folium is such a library.…Actually, Non-PI, Pandas, MatPlotLib,…are also not part of the Python standard library.…

How did we get these packages, then?…Their install is part of the Anaconda install process.…If you look at the main page of PyPI,…you will see pip is the recommended installer.…Pip is a great tool and has a lot of adoption,…but for installing scientific packages…which have some peculiar requirements,…it can be complex to use.…We're going to use the Conda tool that comes with Anaconda…and was developed specifically to make installing…scientific Python packages easier.…
