trying to install the see.py module

[jettam]

I want to install the 'see' module for python. The instructions I am given  (based on Geordie Martinez "Learn Python Inside Maya Module")  seem to be out of date, and mention having to install one see.py file found here: https://araile.github.io/see/index.html  But I don't see one "see.py" file. Instead I see two files to download see-1.4.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl (md5) and see-1.4.0.tar.gz (md5)

So I down load these files and try to follow the instructions.

Run the following command in your terminal to install the latest release:
$ pip3 install --upgrade see

Nothing happens!    Could someone help me to install the see.py module. 

Just in case you were wondering. What this module does. "It neatly summarises what you can do with an object. Use it to inspect your code or learn new APIs."

A whl is a python wheel archive. It's a packaging format for python to be able to distribute and manage them (successor to eggs). The other file is a gzipped tar archive of the source code. Both of them exist on pypi so that the pip tool can find them and install them. 

If you are following a python training tutorial for Maya then you are most likely going to be concerned with python 2.7 (pip). If you are doing a more modern standalone tutorial then it may be using Python3 (pip3). Pip installs the packaged to the associated system python. 

When you say "nothing happens" does that mean you see no output, or that the end result is that you still can't use the new module? If you were to extract that tar file you would have access to the source python code.

Thanks for replying..  I believe I am using Python2.7 because I am doing a video tutorial python in maya for newbies. 

I don't know where the pip tool is ? So I downloaded and installed python2.7 thinking that would also install the pip tool. But I still couldnt find anything called pip.  Maybe the Python command window is the same thing ?

That sound like you are on Windows. You may or may not have pip with your python install. Did you follow the install directions?
