We use PIP, with Python, because it is a great package manager for various Python packages. We use a Python version over 3.4, so it came included by default with Python. Basically, it allows us to download and install various packages (via the command line) and thus you can then start using those packages. You can think of those packages as libraries, if you're not familiar with what packages are.
I have been using PIP for 6 years now, it is a savior for managing dependencies for python. It helps quickly search, install and purge python packages without the mess of manually downloading and installing packages. It now comes inbuilt with new python versions.
