Description

(For more information about this issue, please see #194).

We need a short section to follow the package sources section (see #200) (i.e., as its own file). It should satisfy the following goals:

  • walk through installing a package with pip
  • verifying that the package is installed (e.g., with an import statement or running a script)
  • upgrade with the (--upgrade/-U switch), even if it doesn't actually do anything
  • walk through uninstalling a package (again, with pip)

This should be a largely step-by-step process, explaining each step in turn.
