  1. Installing Geopy using Pip:

    • start -> all programs: Capitalise
    • terminal: Ditto
    • "The computer will install the package automatically from PyPI." -> I would change to "The computer will install the package and its dependencies automatically from PyPI (a repository of packages, which we'll talk about later)."

  2. Where do these libraries go?: Comment next to sys.path is (no longer?) applicable

  3. Libraries not in PyPI: Is it better to suggest python setup.py install or pip install .? The latter is more consistent with the previous sections, and I believe it works with recent-ish versions of pip?

  4. Overall: Should we mention environments (either the Python implementations, or as a more general concept)?
