Python is installed to all of our computers because it is useful framework for a variety of things .
To use the python interface from terminal just type python .
to check you python version just type python --version
to run a python script you need to type in the form :
./python_script_name.py
but very importantly it has to be executable first
chmod +x python_script_name.py
I hope it helps !

Little side note for anyone new to Python who didn't figure it out by theirself: this should be automatic when installing Python, but just in case, note that to run Python using the python command in Windows' CMD you must first add it to the PATH environment variable, as explained here.
If you have the Python launcher installed, in such case instead of typing python in the console you can type py. Whether or not one or both commands are available depends on the choices you made during installation.
To execute Pip, first of all make sure you have it installed, so type in your CMD:
> python
>>> import pip
>>>
The above should proceed with no error. Otherwise, if this fails, you can look here to see how to install it. Now that you are sure you've got Pip, you can run it from CMD with Python using the -m (module) parameter, like this:
> python -m pip <command> <args>
Where <command> is any Pip command you want to run, and <args> are its relative arguments, separated by spaces.
For example, to install a package:
> python -m pip install <package-name>
Newer versions of Python come with py, the Python Launcher, which is always in the PATH.
Here is how to invoke pip via py:
py -m pip install <packagename>
py allows having several versions of Python on the same machine.
As an example, here is how to invoke the pip from Python 2.7:
py -2.7 -m pip install <packagename>
Never thought I'd need to ask this question as a CCNA and Network+ holder, I guess Python has decided to make the simple act of a pip install THIS difficult, wow! I have Python installed as well as Virtual Studio Code. I try this from command prompt
pip3 install requests File "<stdin>", line 1 pip3 install requests ^^^^^^^
And that's all I get, again and again and again. So I try this in the Visual Studio terminal:
pip3 : The term 'pip3' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the
spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again. At line:1 char:1

Mind blowing stuff here. I JUST want to be able to pip install. I've also tried just using "pip" and leaving out the 3. What mountains must I move to perform such a basic task? I

https://docs.python.org/3.6/using/windows.html#installing-without-ui
Installing Without UI: All of the options available in the installer UI can also be specified from the command line, allowing scripted installers to replicate an installation on many machines without user interaction. These options may also be set without suppressing the UI in order to change some of the defaults.
To completely hide the installer UI and install Python silently, pass the /quiet option. To skip past the user interaction but still display progress and errors, pass the /passive option. The /uninstall option may be passed to immediately begin removing Python - no prompt will be displayed.
All other options are passed as name=value, where the value is usually 0 to disable a feature, 1 to enable a feature, or a path.
I have used windows PowerShell to achieve this:

You're good to use Python from command prompt now :)
On Linux or MacOS:
python -m ensurepip --upgrade
If you want to install pip for Python 3, replace python with python3.
See https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installation/ for more details.
TL;DR — One-line solution.
Run the following command for Python v2.7 (default on Mac as of 2021)
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/pip/2.7/get-pip.py | python
Run the following command for Python v3
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | python
Or the following if you have it installed as Python 3
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | python3

The following used to work in 2019 and before
All you had to do was:
sudo easy_install pip
2019: easy_install has been deprecated. Check Method #2 below for the preferred installation!
Details:
OK, I read the solutions given above, but here's an easy solution to install
pip.
The macOS comes with the Python environment installed. But to make sure that you have Python installed open the terminal and run the following command.
python --version
If this command returns a version number that means Python exists. This also means that you already have access to easy_install considering you are using macOS or OS X.
Now, all you have to do is run the following command.
sudo easy_install pip
After that, pip will be installed and you'll be able to use it for installing other packages.
P.S. I ended up blogging a post about it. QuickTip: How Do I Install pip on macOS or OS X?
Method #2: Two line solution
easy_install has been deprecated. Please use get-pip.py instead.
Download and install PIP
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | python
