[OH-Dev] Need some feedback regarding the pip/easyinstall mission

[Eeshan Garg]

Hi everyone!

I am working on the pip/easy_install mission and I have written the 'About'
page for the mission which explains why we need tools like pip. However, I
am not sure if my way of explaining things is right or not as I am a
beginner. I would really appreciate it if someone could give me some
guidance on whether I am on the right track. :)

Here is the text:
................................................................................................................................
Python code that is not a part of the Python Standard Library is commonly
released in the form of packages. As these packages are not a part of the
standard library, we use tools like pip and easy_install to download and
install these 'third-party' packages. Using pip and easy_install, we can
install code other developers have written and use it in our own projects.

Many packages can be found in the Python Package Index (PyPI).

About pip and easy_install

pip and easy_install are package managers that are used to install and
manage third-party software packages written in Python.

One major advantage of using the above-mentioned tools is that they have a
very simple command-line interface which makes installing Python packages a
breeze.

What you'll learn

In order to make cool Python projects, you have to download and install
third-party Python packages, and to install these awesome Python packages,
you have to install package installers (pip and easy_install, in this case)
and to install package installers, you have to figure out how to install
software on your system in general.

Sounds tedious! But don't worry, after completing this training mission,
you will have installed pip and easy_install on your system and will be
able to use these tools to install the Python packages that you wish to use.

Getting started

This mission consists of four parts: installing pip and easy_install on
your system, installing packages, removing packages and a quick reference
at the end.
