After you install PIP, you can use PIP to add custom packages to the Python environment. The
sudo pip install easygui |
You get the following warning and installation:

After installing the easygui Python library, you can change to the root directory to confirm the installation of the easygui Python library with the following command:
find . -name easygui* 2>/dev/null |
It returns the following:
./Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/easygui ./Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/easygui/easygui.py ./Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/easygui/easygui.pyc ./Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/easygui-0.98.1.dist-info |
You can connect to Python 2.7 in a Terminal session. Then, you use the easygui library to run a Hello World! message box with the following commands in the Python shell:
import easygui easy gui.msgbox("Hello World!") |
It will raise the following image:
