How to install multiple python packages at once using pip

Question

I know it s an  easy way of doing it but i didn t find it neither here nor on google   So i was curious if there is a way to install multiple packages using pip   Something like    pip install progra1   progra2  progra3  progra4      or   pip install  command to read some txt containing the name of the modules

For installing multiple packages on the command line, just pass them as a space-delimited list, e.g.:

pip install wsgiref boto

For installing from a text file, then, from pip install --help:

-r FILENAME, --requirement=FILENAME

Install all the packages listed in the given requirements file. This option can be used multiple times.

Take a look at the pip documentation regarding requirements files for their general layout and syntax - note that you can generate one based on current environment / site-packages with pip freeze if you want a quick example - e.g. (based on having installed wsgiref and boto in a clean virtualenv):

$ pip freeze
boto==2.3.0
wsgiref==0.1.2
