I keep getting a message to upgrade pip
Question:
Whenever I create a venv, I get a message asking me to upgrade pip. I run the command for upgrade, and it pops up again on another venv. How can I make this permanent.
Message:
You are using pip version 9.0.1, however version 18.0 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'python -m pip install --upgrade pip' command.
Update:
Just received recommendation to read this possible duplicate answer: virtualenv use upgraded system default pip
This does not solve my issue though. Why?
My pip3 appears to already be up to date:
C:UsersmkupferPython-Sandboxsibc-python-scripts>pip --version
pip 18.0 from c:usersmkupferappdatalocalprogramspythonpython36-32libsit
e-packagespip (python 3.6)
C:UsersmkupferPython-Sandboxsibc-python-scripts>pip3 --version
pip 18.0 from c:usersmkupferappdatalocalprogramspythonpython36-32libsit
e-packagespip (python 3.6)
C:UsersmkupferPython-Sandboxsibc-python-scripts>pip3 install --upgrade pip
Requirement already up-to-date: pip in c:usersmkupferappdatalocalprogramsp
ythonpython36-32libsite-packages (18.0)
Solved
Solution: I was able to fix this altogether by using virtualenv to create a new virtual environment. Not sure if this is a bug in venv. I’ll just use the package that works going forward. Thanks @James Lim for the answer.
Answers:
Update pip from a bat file:
call .venvScriptsactivate
py -m pip install --upgrade pip
call deactivate
Or if you are in VS Code integrated Terminal
& venv/Scripts/activate.ps1
py -m pip install --upgrade pip
For me looks like you have multiple python environments and in one of them, there is not an upgraded pip. You have 2 options:
- navigate to each of that folders and update each pip
- you can remove all of them, reinstall and use virtualenv in future with correct pip
- install some IDE (e.g. PyCharm) that can handle that automatically for you and show all issues visually
The issue seems to be that new virtual environments are using an old version of pip. Note that pip is installed from a source tarfile (or wheel) included with virtualenv, in the site-packages/virtualenv_support directory.
$ ls -l /path/to/site-packages/virtualenv_support
pip-9.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl
A quick way to workaround the problem is to make sure you upgrade pip whenever you create a new virtualenv, like so:
$ virtualenv venv
$ venv/bin/pip install -U pip
Alternatively, make sure you have the latest version of virtualenv. According to their release notes, virtualenv==16 is using pip==10.
$ pip install -U virtualenv
Finally, since virtualenv looks for pip*.whl in virtualenv_support, this will also work:
$ mv /path/to/site-packages/virtualenv_support/pip*.whl{,bak}
$ pip wheel -w /path/to/site-packages/virtualenv_support/ 'pip==18'
All new virtualenvs will use the version of pip that you installed into virtualenv_support. However, this feels hacky.
(Attempted with virtualenv==16. This results in all new virtualenvs with pip==18.)
when upgrading pip would uninstall the old version, but if old version is in a different place it cant,hence ending up in two different pip versions. Check your installations on your root PYTHONPATH.
Also PYTHONPATH may not be same as system path.
Here is the solution to your issue.
step 1 :
run this command in your shell or jupyter notebook
it will securely download get-pip.py from pypa
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py
step 2 :
run below code
python get-pip.py
For me I just run:
pip install -U virtualenv
then my problem solved.

Many thanks to him.
Situation
In my project folder there was a venv with a older version of pyhton inside (trying out stable diffusion).
Fix
Deleting this folder venv and re-executing my script worked.
