In teaching Python, I find that many Windows users are command-line challenged and have difficulties using and accessing PIP. In the spirit of what Tortoise has done for version control, I propose that menu options be added for PIP.
PyPI (Python Package Index)
---------------------------
* Ensure pip / Upgrade pip
* Show installed packages (freeze) (and give options to update or remove)
* Install from requirements file (install -r)
* Search for package
* Install package
* Upgrade package (install -U)
* Uninstall package
* Change default repository (default pypi.python.org)
* Change default install directory (in case the user doesn't have admin rights)
This change would be a major step forward in making the PyPi accessible by people who lack the skills or inclination to wrestle with PIP.
I would love to be able to start a class with a fresh Python download from python.org and effortlessly install requests and other tools without users having to fire-up a terminal window and wrestle with the various parts.
