GDAL libraries, who does what

I'm struggling installing GDAL on ubuntu 16.04 to work with GeoDjango (Django 2.1, python3), so I need to understand what I'm actually installing.

What is the rôle of each library/package/module ?

apt

  • gdal-bin (A 'C' library containing the actual functions ?)

  • python-gdal (The same in python, or just some kind of bridge ?)

  • python3-gdal (see above, but for python3. Does it need python-gdal ?)

pip

  • gdal
  • pygdal

What is the link between pip modules and apt packages here ?
