What is the way to install a package using pip from within Wing? For example, how to install the Bottle Python Web Framework from within Wing?
You could manage your project in a virtual environment, do the pip install there and set your wing project to use that environment.
Other than starting a command from the OS Commands tool there's no way to do that now. Adding a package manager is something we hope to do in the future.
You have my +1
A small start on this is available in Wing 7.2+ where you can specify packages to install in the New Project dialog when creating a new virtualenv or Anaconda env with your new project.
I tried this with PyQt5, but the package gets installed into the host python and not into the Wing created virtual environment.
It does work, if I start a terminal from within Wing IDE, which is automatically in the correct virtual environment and then install via pip
pip install pyqt5
This is on a fresh install of macOS Mojave with python 3.7.7 installed via python.org installer. WingPro 7.2.2.13 (rev b4c7d93c92a9)
I think there may be a bug here so that Wing ends up running pip outside of the activated env. We'll look into fixing that soon. Thanks for pointing this out!
