    <para>
      The <application>Python</application> module packages add useful objects
      to the <application>Python</application> language. Modules utilized by
      packages throughout BLFS are listed here, along with their dependencies.
    </para>

    <important>
      <para>
        In BLFS, we normally build and install Python 3 modules with
        <command>pip3</command>.  Please take care that the
        <command>pip3 install</command> commands in the book should be
        run as &root; unless it's for a Python virtual environment.  Running
        <command>pip3 install</command> as a non-&root; user may seem to
        work fine, but it will cause the installed module to be inaccessible by
        other users.
      </para>
      <para>
        <command>pip3 install</command> will not reinstall an already
        installed module by default.  For using the
        <command>pip3 install</command> command to upgrade a module (for
        example, from meson-0.61.3 to meson-0.62.0), insert
        <parameter>--upgrade</parameter> into the command line.  If it's really
        necessary to downgrade a module or reinstall the same version for
        some reason, insert <parameter>--force-reinstall</parameter> into
        the command line.
      </para>
