pipUpdateAll

The missing "pip install --upgrade ALL" feature missing from pip

This script basically checks for outdated modules using pip list --outdated, parses the output to only show relevant information (specifically name, current_version and new_version) and then updates all detected modules using pip install -U module_1 module_2 ...

There are lots of ways to achieve this, as can be seen in this discussion https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2720014/upgrading-all-packages-with-pip. This script is just my take on the matter.

At the time of this writing, there still was a debate about wether to add an option like this to pip (at pypa/pip#59). So while that option isn't officialy implemented, feel free to use pipUpdateAll

Dependencies

• Python 2.7
• pip

How to run

Double click pipUpdateAll.py to update every outdated python module

Note

If you get a pip related error it's probably because you have an outdated version of pip. Outdated versions may still not have implemented the necessary options for this script to work
