Updating Python Packages

It's easy to forget to update packages after they've been installed as they silently live in the background working as intended. Here are two ways to check what needs updating:

pip list --outdated 

Out of the box, pip provides a quick way to query which packages have updates.

pip-review

If you're looking for something that helps install the packages that are outdated, check out pip-review. pip-review has both an --auto option which automatically installs all updates it finds and an --interactive which will prompt you which packages you'd like to update.
