pipdate is a collection of small pip update helpers. The command

```bash

pipdate

# or python3.9 -m pipdate

```

updates _all_ your pip-installed packages. (Only works on Unix.)

There's a Python interface as well that can be used for update notifications.

This

```python

import pipdate

pipdate.check("matplotlib", "0.4.5")

```

will print



This can, for example, be used by package authors to notify users of upgrades of

their own packages.

If you guard the check with

```python

import pipdate

if pipdate.needs_checking("matplotlib"):

    pipdate.check("matplotlib", "0.4.5")

```

then it will be performed at most every _k_ seconds, where _k_ is specified

in the config file `$HOME/.config/pipdate/config.ini`, e.g., once a day

```

[DEFAULT]

secondsbetweenchecks = 86400

```
