What happens when you use pip

Have you ever wondered what happens when you use pip install , I did so I found out what happens.

Where does pip get's it's packages?

Pypi (Python Package Index) is a website hosted by the python community, when you use pip install, pip goes to pypi and get's the package files and names. Then pip stores the packages in a folder, and refers to them when needed.
