pip-install-test is a minimal stub package (current version 0.5) designed to test the success of `pip install` operations. It provides a straightforward mechanism for verifying that a Python environment is capable of installing third-party modules via pip. Its primary purpose is to offer a simple 'existence proof of viability' for pip installations, rather than to provide complex functionality or exercise the full feature set of pip or setuptools. The package was last updated in March 2019 and serves as a utility for validating basic Python package management setups.
pip install pip-install-testVerified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.
After installation, the package can be imported directly. This minimal example demonstrates a successful import, confirming that `pip install` worked as expected and the package is discoverable by Python.
Always use `import pip_install_test` in your Python code, not `import pip-install-test`.
Troubleshoot common pip issues: check internet connectivity, ensure proper virtual environment activation, upgrade pip (`python -m pip install --upgrade pip`), or address permission errors.
The Python module name uses underscores, not hyphens. Use `import pip_install_test`.
Verify internet connection, check for typos in the package name (`pip install pip-install-test`), ensure proxy settings are configured if behind one, or try upgrading pip (`python -m pip install --upgrade pip`).
Activate a virtual environment (`source .venv/bin/activate` or `.venv\Scripts\activate`) or use `pip install --user pip-install-test` to install into the user scheme. Avoid `sudo pip install` unless absolutely necessary and understood.
