pip-upgrader

2.4.4 verified Mon Apr 27 auth: no python

pip install pip-upgrader

Common errors

error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pip_upgrader' ↓

cause The package is installed but not importable because it uses a namespace package. Use the correct import path.

fix

Use from pip_upgrader import pip_upgrader instead of import pip_upgrader.

error TypeError: pip_upgrader() got an unexpected keyword argument 'non_interactive' ↓

cause In v2.4.2+, the non-interactive mode is enabled via command-line arguments, not keyword arguments.

fix

Pass arguments as strings: pip_upgrader('--non-interactive', '-p', 'all').

Warnings

breaking In v2.4.0, the CLI entry point changed from `pip-upgrade` to `pip-upgrade` (same name but under pip_upgrader package). Ensure you're using the correct command. ↓

fix Use `pip-upgrade` from terminal, or run `python -m pip_upgrader` as fallback.

gotcha The tool modifies requirements.txt in place. Ensure you have a backup or version control before running. ↓

fix Commit or copy requirements.txt before running pip-upgrader.

gotcha Non-interactive mode with `-p all` updates all packages to latest, which may break compatibility. Use with caution. ↓

fix Use `-p some` to limit upgrades, or manually review changes.
