You Need to Upgrade Pip
- eesmith 6y agoI get upgrade fatigue using pip. It seems like every time I use it, it nags me to update, like now: WARNING: You are using pip version 20.3.3; however, version 21.0.1 is available. 20.3.3 is from December. In the last 2 months there have been 3 releases. Then I'll upgrade, and the next time it'll nag me to upgrade again. So, no, I don't need to update every time I turn around. I need something to give me some peace and quiet, like --disable-pip-version-check-for "6 months". Which is not at all what the linked-to page was about. Then again, why didn't the example shell transcript include pip's incessant warning that: You are using pip version 9.0.1, however version 21.0.1 is available. You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command. (I made a venv and installed 9.0.1 to copy&paste those nag lines.) Was it trimmed off to add artificial suspense? Seems more useful as an example of justifying why it should be there for sufficiently old pip installations.
