I 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.
