Python Module Management

As an Arch Linux user, the push is to utilize pacman and related tools to manage dependencies and package updates (including Python modules). In fact, the wiki itself explicitly states this (see 2.1), and the default Arch installation of Python disables python-pip.

Unfortunately, there are limited resources put into maintaining packages for modules and only the most common and popular modules are maintained, and they are updated promptly as is consistent within the Arch ecosystem.

Introduction

This is the basic framework that I use to install Arch Linux, with a few changes catered to the Lenovo ThinkPad E15 Gen 2. I have found that this is a decent mid range laptop, excellent linux compatibility, great keyboard, and overall provides a good value.

Getting started

This tutorial assumes the following:

You are booting from a USB drive with the Arch install ISO.
Wireless or wired network is detected and drivers are configured automatically.
You want drive encrytion on your root partition, but not on your boot/efi/swap partitions.

Verify UEFI boot mode
