UpgradePipPkgs

Tool for upgrading all pip packages within a Python environment using just one command.


About


UpgradePipPkgs can upgrade all of your pip packages using one of two methods:
Method 1:

First gather all outdated packages using the command pip list --outdated, then pass results to a list of outdated packages to be upgraded.


This method is generally more efficient than the following method, as only outdated packages are passed to upgrade process.
Unfortunately doesn't take into account package dependencies relying on specific package versions to function properly.


Method 2:

Iterate over all installed packages, passing the command pip install --upgrade {pkgname} over each one.


This method takes more time overall, but is "safer".
"Safer" in this context means that package dependencies are corrected upon attempting upgrade on a package that specifies its dependencies, downgrading specific package versions where necessary.
Note that not all packages will be able to downgrade, as the order of packages upgraded is relevant to whether incorrect version dependencies are corrected.

For example, let's assume PackA requires PackB<=1.0.0 as a dependency:

PackA will be checked for available upgrade first, and will check for installed dependency pkg PackB<=1.0.0, installing it if not already installed.
PackB is then checked, and has a new version available, 1.1.0.
PackB-1.0.0 is then upgraded to 1.1.0, but now PackA can't function correctly due to incorrect dependency version.
This can easily be fixed by reinstalling PackA using the pip install command: "pip install PackA".







You can review past results/program output in the application's log file, which can be found here:

Before use, navigate to intended installation location, and create a new directory.


Clone repository with the git client of your preference.


Install all dependencies for this package within said directory by entering the following:
pip install -r requirements.txt




(Optional) move installation directory to "~/path/to/Python/Libs/site_packages" to be able to import this package to a Python program like any other importable package.

Done!
