I must use pip3 for Python3.x or I can also use Pip without any problem?

The version of pip works with any version of Python, in theory. Python usually already comes with a pre-configured Pip version for the environment.

What are the differences between Pip versions?

The same as software open source regular: features and maturity of code for bugs.

If you have Python 2x and Python3x, you usually end up with Pip and pip3. The difference is that Pip installs bilbiotecas in Python 2 and pip3 installs bilbiotecas in Python 3 or its virtualenv.

If you only have Python 3 installed or are inside a virtualenv, you will only have a Pip, and it installs the bilbiotecas in Python 3.

To know which Pip is pointing to which python installation you can use:

pip -V
