Answer Key

Installing a third-party library with pip

Section A: Quick Questions

A — pip install requests

A — True

B — In the terminal or command prompt

A — pip install requests, then import requests in the program

B — pip install requests==2.31.0

Section B: Match the Pairs

pip install requests → Downloads the third-party requests library so a Python program can import it

pip install requests==2.31.0 → Installs version 2.31.0 of the requests library instead of the latest version

Install a third-party library first, then bring it into a program with import → pip install requests import requests

You can check which version of a library is installed → pip show requests

import requests pip install requests → The import comes before the install. The library must be installed with pip first, or import fails with ModuleNotFoundError.

pip install requests=2.31.0 → A version number needs two equals signs (==). A single = is not valid pip syntax.

Section C: Definitions

pip install requests — A terminal command that uses pip to download a third-party library (here requests) so a Python program can then import it. Add ==2.31.0 after the name to pick a version.

Section D: Fill in the Blanks

pip install requests

pip install requests
import requests

pip install requests==2.31.0

pip install requests

pip install requests
import requests

Section E: Spot the Error

B — The pip command order is wrong. The install keyword comes before the library name: pip install requests.

D — Python code uses the import keyword to load a library after it has been installed. install is a pip command, not Python. It should be: import requests.

C — A version is chosen with a double equals sign (==) after the library name. A single = is not valid. It should be: pip install requests==2.31.0.

D — The library name is spelled wrong. The library installed was pyjokes, so the import must match: import pyjokes.

C — Some libraries are installed under one name but imported under another. pip install pillow is imported as PIL, so the line should be: from PIL import Image.
