Documentation for the pip accelerator¶
The pip accelerator makes pip (the Python
package manager) faster by keeping pip off the internet when possible and by
caching compiled binary distributions. It can bring a 10 minute run of pip
down to less than a minute. You can find the pip accelerator in the following
places:
