upgrade-all 0.1.0

Upgrade every installed package to the latest PyPI release — the 'pip upgrade-all' command pip never shipped.

pip-upgrade-all

The pip upgrade-all command pip never shipped.

Upgrades every package installed in the current Python environment to its latest release on PyPI — using pip's own internal machinery, so resolution, wheel caching, and hash-checking all work exactly as they do with a normal pip install -U call.

Install

pip install pip-upgrade-all

Usage

pip-upgrade-all [options]

Flag	Short	Description
--dry-run	-n	Print what would be upgraded without doing anything
--skip PKG	-s PKG	Skip a package (repeatable)
--user		Pass --user through to pip
--index-url URL	-i URL	Use a custom package index
--verbose	-v	Show pip's full output
--version		Print version and exit

Examples

# Upgrade everything
pip-upgrade-all

# See what would change without touching anything
pip-upgrade-all --dry-run

# Upgrade everything except pip and setuptools
pip-upgrade-all --skip pip --skip setuptools

# Use a private index
pip-upgrade-all --index-url https://my.artifactory.example/simple/

# Pass extra flags straight through to pip (after --)
pip-upgrade-all -- --no-deps

As a module

python -m pip_upgrade_all

Programmatic API

from pip_upgrade_all.__main__ import upgrade_all

exit_code = upgrade_all(skip=["pip", "setuptools"], verbose=True)

Why does this exist?

The pip maintainers decided that environment-wide upgrade management is out of pip's scope. Fair enough — but the need is real. This package fills that gap with a tiny, focused tool that does exactly one thing.

Caveats

• Upgrades are attempted in alphabetical order. If package A depends on an old version of B and you upgrade both, the resolver may complain. Use --skip to exclude packages you want to pin.
• Editable installs (pip install -e .) are included. Use --skip to exclude them if needed.
• System-managed Python environments (Homebrew, distro packages) may reject upgrades without --user.
