About

pip is the standard installer for Python libraries. It fetches packages from the Python Package Index, dependencies included. Use it to add a library to a project or a virtual environment.

Install it

pkg install python-pip

Run this inside Termux. If the package is already present, pkg will say so and do nothing.
