In computing, pip is a package-management system written in Python and is used to install and manage software packages. It connects to an online repository of public packages, called the Python Package Index, and can be configured to connect to other package repositories (local or remote), provided that they comply with Python Enhancement Proposal 503. Most distributions of Python come with pip preinstalled, and Python 2.7.9 and later (on the python2 series), and Python 3.4 and later include pip by default.
It is worth noting that the term PIP can also refer to Personal Injury Protection, which is a type of car insurance that covers medical bills and related costs resulting from an accident, no matter who caused it. Additionally, in the context of human resources, PIP stands for Performance Improvement Plan, which is a document that aims to help employees who are not meeting job performance goals.
