Difference between pip and pip3?

Question

When I try to install some packages like pandas,numpy etc using pip it shows error and then when using pip3 it works.what is the difference?

Answer 1

The modules in pypi have different versions.
With pip3 the version for Python3 and not Python2 is installed.

Answer 2

pip3 always operates on the Python3 environment only, as pip2 does with Python2.
pip operates on whichever environment is appropriate to the context. For example if you are in a Python3 venv, pip will operate on the Python3 environment.
